We are proud to be one of the leading poetry publications that does not require submission or reading fees of any kind. This has allowed us to build incredible contemporary poetry anthologies featuring poets from around the globe. We currently engage with over 80,000 readers a week, sharing the art, insights, poetry, and words of our poets and authors.

This critical work is made possible by the contributions of individuals who believe in Train River Publishing’s mission: to freely spread poetry and prose — breaking down barriers to entry for writers and paywalls for readers.

We release a new anthology with every season, and are excited to embark on our 7th edition of our bestselling series Train River Poetry. Every day we receive over 300 poems from our talented poets. We then have the distinct honor to share daily favorites on our Instagram account. Each month we sort through 10,000 poems and short stories to earmark pieces to consider for our anthologies. It's a tremendous undertaking to handle all of these works with the care and love they deserve. We're so lucky to get to do it every day.

We are looking forward to continuing to grow and publish more poets and authors. We have a lot of exciting plans for the future and we are committed to providing these opportunities to our poets and authors without requiring fees or creating paywalls. We hope you'll join us on this journey.

Contribute however you can, whether it's submitting your poetry, checking one of our books out from the library, or donating today. With your support we can keep doing what we love; providing a stage for talented writers from around the world.
