Celebrating a Year of Growth
and Announcing Our Big Plans for 2026!

Wow, what a wild, beautiful, and words-filled year 2025 has been for the Verseve community! Our collective effort to grow the poetry community is really paying off, and we’re so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together.

Here’s a quick, fun recap of everything we accomplished together, and a sneak peek at the massive content drop coming next year!

2025 Recap:

Our biggest effort this year was focused on boosting your voices and growing our platforms:

  • Book Stack Goals: We hit our targets with two beautiful anthologies (Stars and Butterflies)
    and two mind-bending Blackout Poetry MagaZines (the Alice in Wonderland and Dracula editions).
    We helped 1 poet publish 2 books under Verseve! 
  • Official Directory: We launched the Official Verseve Poet Directory to showcase poets published by Verseve in 2025, helping connect you with readers and publishers.
  • Community First: Every page published is a direct part of our mission to grow this poetry community making it easier for readers and opportunities to find you.
  • Social Media: We hosted 2 #7syllablechallenges over on BlueSky
  • We launched our first Poetry Calendar!

Our Roadmap for 2026: 

We’re dreaming even bigger for the new year! Our goal is to expand our publishing schedule and our community platforms.

  • Publications Goal: We aim to publish 3 Anthologies and 3 MagaZines, more opportunities to share your work!

  • Poetry Calendar 2027: Our general submission period will run from January 1st to November 1st, 2026. Get those poems ready!

  • Virtual Museum Launch: We will be opening a Virtual Poetry Museum right on our website, creating a dynamic space to experience poetry in new ways.
