submit

kicking your ass is not currently accepting submissions.

poems we want: Poems that make us laugh. We want the irreverent, strange and inexplicable. The surreal, the silly, the grotesque and over the top. Imagine James Tate or Jack Handey writing one-star Amazon reviews of a party guest who talks too loudly. That’s the vibe.

what we pay: $20 (USD)

what we don’t want: Fiction. Whinging. Assholes. Creeps.

how to submit: Submit up to three (3) poems or one (1) book review in a Word doc to kickingyourassmag (at) gmail.com

response time: Leisurely. If you’re getting impatient, email us.

Our process: We believe in a collaborate editorial process. If we accept a poem, we may offer honest, constructive feedback. We want your work to be the best it can be. Sometimes that means excising a word. Sometimes that means major reconstructive surgery. This is why we have editors. So you can kick ass.
