Submissions FAQ

Do you publish solo poetry collections?

No, we don’t. Sidekick specialises in collaborative and mixed-media work, with strong themes and blurred genre boundaries. Have a look at our other books to get an idea of what we do.  

How about if I just send it anyway?

Please don’t! As a team of two people (working jobs alongside running the press), we don’t have time to reply to unsolicited collections sent to us.  

There are many incredible presses who publish single-author collections. You can find a good starter list on the National Poetry Library’s website.  

When is your next submissions call?

We are planning a new series in 2025 and will release the call via our newsletter (see bottom of this page) and through our social media accounts on Instagram, Threads and Bluesky. We look forward to seeing your work!
