Altadena Poetry Review: Anthology 2020 

Submissions period: July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 (extended deadline)

The mission/vision of the Altadena Poetry Review is to publish a quality literary anthology that represents poets/writers in the Altadena/Pasadena area and LA County including voices of underrepresented poets/writers in the indigenous community, LGBTQ community, people experiencing houselessness, people of color, women and people of diverse age groups and backgrounds. 

Submission is FREE. Although we would prefer to give free copies of the APR to those who are published in it, as we face the economic realities of publishing and the desire to be as inclusive as possible and not charge a submissions fee to pay for publishing costs, those published in the Altadena Poetry Review: Anthology 2020 would need to purchase their own copy, at a contributor discount, if they choose to do so. 

If you are under 18 years of age, your parent/legal guardian needs to email us at altadenapoetryreviewcommunity@gmail.com to give us permission to publish your work if selected. Thank you
