Peterloo's publishing schedule is already in place for the next three years. We therefore request poets not to send in their manuscripts. A good way to get noticed, with a view to future publication, is to enter our competition, or indeed reputable poetry competitions in general.  Many previous prize-winners in our competition have gone on to have their first volumes published by Peterloo.  (Beware of vanity press publishers masquerading as competitions, however.) Poets with an established track record i.e. publication in poetry magazines, etc., who feel ready to submit a collection should write an introductory letter to Harry Chambers in the first instance.

Peterloo does not offer a criticism service. If you would like an assessment of your poetry, it's a good idea to attend workshops run by established poets (as, for instance, the Arvon Foundation offer). Another method is to use the Poetry Society who will, for a fee, arrange a professional critique of your work.
