Hi there, please do you accept poetry?

Dear Fejiro, Jacaranda Books does not publish poetry. It only publishes adult fiction and non-fiction. We advise that you look for other publishers who accept poetry submissions. We have numerous ones listed here: http://africanliterarymagazines.singlestory.org/category/poetry/. We hope you’re able to get everything you need. Good luck with your submission.

Jacaranda does accept poetry, at least now. For the 20 in 2020 campaign they will publish 5 poetry authors.
