As teachers, we don’t have the time we’d like to read submissions during the school year, meaning our typical turnaround is 3-6 months. This is a long time to wait for many, so we now offer fast-tracked submissions.

For €10 (2 coffees), we will read your submission (up to 5 poems) and reach a decision (which may include edits with a view to publication) within 2 weeks of our receiving it.

Simply pay the fee via https://ko-fi.com/dodgingtherain (2 coffees!) and submit your work in the usual way to dtr.poetry@gmail.com—just include Fast-Track in your email subject to keep us on our toes.

Regular submissions remain free-of-charge, just bear with us while we dodge the rain of another term!
