There should be more prizes for innovative poetry...do Salt still publish it? > Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 22:35:24 +0000 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Reading fees for poetry manuscript submissions > To: [log in to unmask] > Salt only charge an entry fee for their prize contests. I'm not aware of any UK publishers charging a fee to read a manuscript, but I've heard of it in more than one place in the US. In the US it seems quite common for prizes to govern eventual publication, and there's a fee to enter that, so it amounts to the same thing, yes?
