Poetry Review Service
Please read this entire page, including the disclaimer at the bottom, before sending us your poetry.

Since many people ask for a critique of their poetry when they submit, we decided to offer a poetry review service. You might be new to poetry writing and are looking for some initial guidance and feedback on your work, or you might be a more seasoned poet looking to polish-up a few poems before you submit them to a magazine. What ever the case, you will receive comments about each poem, and also a paragraph about your work in general; what you can do to improve, what to aviod, and so on.

Price:

$25 for three poems, plus $5 for each additional poem.

Disclaimer and other details:

Please keep in mind that receiving critique isn't always easy, and that all of our suggestions are only suggestions and our opinion. When you submit your poetry for critique, you are taking the chance that you won't agree with our assessment or find it helpful. We think that the majority of the time people will find our advice useful, but there are always exceptions to the rule. To put it simply, submit at your own risk. Also, for various reasons, we do not give refunds.

Please do not submit the same poetry that we critique to the Brick & Mortar Review Poetry Contest.
