Editorial Focus
NYQ Books was established in 2009 as an imprint of the New York Quarterly Foundation, Inc. Its mission is to augment the New York Quarterly poetry magazine by providing an additional venue for poets who are already published there. A lifelong dream of NYQ’s founding editor, William Packard, NYQ Books has been made possible by both growing foundation support and new technology that was not available during William Packard’s lifetime.
Tips From the Editor
We are not currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts. Right now we limit our reading of manuscripts to those who have previously been selected to appear in the pages of the New York Quarterly magazine, and, on rare occasions, to those recommended to us by editors of other journals. We are trying our best to get the New York Quarterly magazine online and accepting submissions again to allow for more people to be eligible for the books program. But we cannot open it up to unsolicited manuscripts—we would be inundated. Thank you for your understanding and interest in NYQ Books.
