Hello Skylight Poets,
I have found your publication via the Poetry Ireland website submissions page. I would like to point out that on there, the guidelines state up to FOUR poems, while here you state up to THREE. Can you clarify please?
Thanks very much.

Hi Dermot
Yes, we have changed our submissions to three poems, as we are receiving so many submissions now. However, some of the notifications from other sources went out as four. Issue 6 of the magazine also states three poems. Sorry for the confusion.
I erred on the side of caution

Hello, this is Aekta here. I’ve sent my submission for Issue 12. Can you please tell me how long will it take to get notified about the acceptance or rejection of my poems?
Thanks!
Dear Aekta, we usually take around four weeks to read all the poems and make our decision, although that does depend on the number of submissions.
