Poetry submissions wanted for women’s anthology – “Woman, mapped”

The Rebecca Swift Foundation and Fly on the Wall Press are inviting submissions for a new anthology celebrating women’s lives. Curated by poet and critic, Jennifer Wong, the anthology will feature poetry and creative non-fiction by twelve UK-based women poets, from emerging voices to established names.

“Woman, Mapped will explore the journey of becoming a woman: the joys, the pain, and the defining moments that shape us”.

Works will be selected on the basis of “originality, voice and craft”. Shortlisted poets will be invited to submit a further set of poems for consideration.

Priority will be given to members of the Women Poets’ Network, and at least eight contributors will be selected from within the network. The deadline is 12 October 2025.
