Call For Submissions

Butterflies Anthology is now open for submissions through March 31st, 2025

Butterflies is a web-based anthology.

Main themes:
Literally anything with butterflies. Moths too.

We’re looking for short pieces: poems and stories from 1 – 5 pages.

About Submission Guidelines:

  • Copyright: To avoid copyright issues, submissions must not have been previously published by third parties.
  • Social Media & Self-Published Works: Social media posts and self-published works are acceptable as long as you retain all rights to the work.
  • Rights: Submitting to this anthology does not transfer any rights or ownership of your work.
  • Free Submission: Poets will recieve a free e-book copy, and submissions are free of charge.
  • Kindle Publication (Potential): If we receive a sufficient number of high-quality submissions, we may publish the anthology on the Kindle Store. You will be notified and given the opportunity to grant permission. If published, you will receive a free eBook copy.
  • Credit & Visibility: All your work will be credited with your chosen pen name. We will also include a link or QR code to your social media profiles for increased visibility.
  • Questions: If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Submission Form

We're excited to offer two publication options for the anthology:

eBook: The anthology will be available as an eBook on Kindle, making it accessible to a wide audience.

Print Version: We also plan to offer a print version for those who prefer a physical book.

Ebook & Print Version Pricing:

The Ebook will be set to the lowest price that kindle allows. With a FREE 5 DAY EBOOK OFFER every enrollment period (around 2 months).

The print version will be priced to cover the printing costs charged by Amazon. This means the price will be calculated based on a formula:

Fixed Cost + (Page Count * Per Page Cost) = Printing Cost

We will then round up the final printing cost to the nearest $0.99. For example, if the printing cost is $5.36, the print version will be priced at $5.99.

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 making the anthology available in physical form. Our goal is to make the works accessible.

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 to this anthology does not restrict your ability to publish your poems in other venues.

Do you agree to its inclusion in the anthology under these terms?
