Editorial Focus

CavanKerry Press seeks materials from the broadest range of writers, including people of color and people with disabilities. They are partial to the writer whose distinct voice is emotionally accessible and daring. They discourage victim-ridden, pedagogic, politically preachy, or sentimental material. CKP does not publish self-help, how-to, romance or sci-fi. For more info, see www.cavankerrypress.org/submit.

Tips From the Editor

Please review guidelines before submitting manuscripts. Familiarize yourself with some of CavanKerry’s work. You can find a sample of the quality of our authors and the type of work we publish over at www.cavankerrypress.org/words-to-keep-yo....

Most of all, we want to connect to you through your writing—to step into your world and understand its shape and the experiences which have made it that way. The most successful manuscripts will not be buried in layers of allusion, but will be welcome and illuminating, revealing something true and unobscured about the life that led the poems within to be crafted.
