Indie Poetry Please! on Instagram TV: Submission Guidelines
Indie Poetry Please! Submission Guidelines
I’m running a new feature on Instagram TV: #indiepoetryplease. I read some of my own poems and introduce poetry by three other indie poets, around a particular theme
My aim is to introduce listeners to some of the most exciting, inspiring, and dynamic voices working in poetry today.
This program broadcasts on:
- Instagram Live
- IGTV
- Patreon
- the Alliance of Independent Authors’ “Self-Publishing Poetry” podcast
Indie Poetry Please! Submission Guidelines

Indie Poetry Please! Submission Guidelines: Please Note
Indie Poetry Please! is not an open mic. Various considerations go into the selection process, including our theme of the month, getting a spread of genres, what has been previously broadcast, and many other factors.
- Patrons have priority but neither submission nor patronage guarantee broadcast
- Should your poems be selected for the podcast, we may also broadcast any details you submit through the registration form, or in correspondence, unless requested otherwise.
- Persevere! If not selected this time, please don’t let that keep you from trying again. Slots are limited and perseverance is likely to be rewarded.
- Even if not selected for broadcast, your poems will be enjoyed on my Patreon page by many other poets and on Instagram by other followers of the hashtag #indiepoetryplease.
I very much look forward to reading your work.
