Coffee Grinder logo with caption: The Grinder, brewing your submissions into something useful

Storm Cellar - Poetry (Fiction) (Nonfiction)



Description
Note: submit up to four times/year.

We're open to anything. We like surprises.

We're not super in love with greeting card sentiments/prosody, nor these topics: cats, coffee, booze, birds. Of course, a poem is its own best case for its awesomeness.


This market charges a fee of $5.00 to submit.
