We are open for pamphlet submissions of up to 40 pages of poetry and first poetry collections of up to 60 pages of poetry during the month of October each year. Please do not send submissions outside of this window as they will not be read. We aim to respond within 6 weeks after the submission window has closed however we are a small press so please give us a nudge if you haven't heard back in this time.
Please send up to 10 poems of your manuscript in word to contact@blackcatpress.co.uk. Please include an introduction of yourself and your book in the body of the email. If your work is a good fit we will ask you to share the full manuscript.

We are interested in all subjects but have a particular interest in eco poetry. We are not interested in poetry that is bigoted in any way.

We hold regular competitions. Information and results can be found on our social media pages.
