Non-Profit Venture:

The small amount generated from rounding up the print price will be used to offset website costs and potentially fund future prizes for contributing poets. This means the print version is essentially a non-profit venture aimed at helping poets share their work.

Your Rights:

Importantly, you, as the poet, retain all rights to your work. You are free to submit your poems elsewhere as you see fit. Your contribution does not restrict your ability to publish your poems in other venues.

We believe your amazing poetry deserves to be seen and celebrated more than once! That’s why, at Verseve, we happily accept previously published work.

The key is that you must retain all rights to your poem. By submitting your work to us, you agree that Verseve is not responsible for any copyright issues that might come up if you’ve given exclusive rights elsewhere. We trust that you’ve got this handled!

Our goal is simple: We want to help poets grow by giving your powerful words new stages and new audiences. Let’s share your art far and wide!
