haijinx V:1

submissions are closed pending 2012 schedule

haijinx now publishes twice each year. Our most recent issue, haijinx IV-1, came out in March 2011. The next issue will be released shortly after the solstice in December. The 2012 publication schedule has yet to be determined.

We accept original, unpublished haiku (preferably between 5 and 10 at a time), renga and renku, & haiga and sumi-e. We will also accept previously published work in these categories, but please include the publication information at the time you submit your work and do not submit work currently under consideration elsewhere. Please make sure that each submission contains a majority of unpublished work. Non-English works may be submitted with translation. We will publish them in both English and their native language. If you do not have a translation, contact us to see if we know of a translator who might work with you.

We are always looking for articles on haiku, even from authors who disagree with us. Please contact us with your article ideas beforehand.

fine print

We acquire first serial rights to unpublished work and secondary rights to previously published work. We also reserve reprint rights.

“first rights” means that we will be the first to publish the poem anywhere. “secondary rights” simply means we will republish a previously published work. We will always credit the original publication. “reprint rights” means that we will be allowed to reprint the work in any form at our discretion. This includes issues of haijinx, the haijinx web site, future “best of” or “annual” anthologies of haijinx poetry, and other hard copy and electronic publications.

All other rights revert to the author. This means you can reprint the work however you see fit without contacting us. This includes allowing others to reprint it. When reprinting works that first appeared in a haijinx publication, we request that you note that.

By submitting to haijinx, you are agreeing to these terms.
