Thanks, Emily, for including Inlandia Institute’s HGP (#49 on the spreadsheet). We DO offer fee waivers!! If you’re able to update the listing, that’d be awesome. With gratitude, Erin
That's great news -- thanks for sharing this! I don't see fee waivers mentioned in the guidelines -- is this page correct? https://inlandiainstitute.org/books/the-hillary-gravendyk-prize/ -- once the fee waivers are included in the guidelines, I'll update the listing in the spreadsheet.
We give a fee-waiver option with our Submittable guidelines, I believe. I’ll pass along your good query to the folks who dedicate their time to our books (I’m the journal managing editor). Thanks 🙏
To eliminate barriers to entry, we offer needs-based fee waivers. Write to publications@inlandiainstitute.org with the subject line “fee waiver request”.
I hope this helps those considering our annual Poetry Prize, which are given to two poets each year: Regional and National. The submission window is open until the end of April.
Thanks for your generous support for poets, Emily. These are all American presses, right? I developed a Canadian presses spreadsheet while pitching my latest book (now accepted, out in September). So much work tracking these, and customizing submissions.
Most are US-based presses, but many accept submissions from poets in the US and other countries... admittedly the location/regional aspects of this info have been tricky for me to track since the specifics can vary a lot. I've wondered about having different sheets for different locations so people can identify their options at a glance... the challenge is time/energy to keep up with more sheets. If you're ever open to sharing your Canadian spreadsheet, I'd be happy to weave that info in, giving you credit of course. Thanks for commenting with this!
I would be happy to send you what I have for Canadian publishers. I have shared it with a number of poet friends; it was created in 2020 and just sporadically updated but I think most of it remains accurate. Related / unrelated topic: it’s unfortunate that publishers are tied to specific countries (or sometimes regions) by funding. Most Canadian publishers rely on government grants which specifically for Canadian writers, and I think many US publishers rely on US based foundations. There are more borders in the literary world than necessary.
Thanks, Lorne! My email is hello@emilystoddard.com if you want to share it there -- really appreciate your openness to this! And yeah, the funding situation certainly plays into this... so many layers of gatekeeping to navigate in publishing.
Ooh love the idea of the integrated spread sheets based on location! Following as I'm currently living in Canada and have just moved from the UK - great resources! I offer submission templates for students of my Submitting Poetry Courses but this is a great resource to send people in the direction of when I run the next ones - thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for this wonderful project. As a chronically ill poet living on disability, I often can’t afford the fees. I appreciate your stats for the year. Much love. 💜🦥
HI Emily, I’m very new to Substack having only started my publication ‘The Way Of The Poet - John Shane’ a few months ago, and I’m still finding out how Substack works.
I’ve just found your publication and I think it will interest my subscribers.
This is so fucking important. You're doing brilliant work.
What a wonderful resource, thank you so much!

Hi again, Emily. Yes, that's the correct page: https://inlandiainstitute.org/books/the-hillary-gravendyk-prize/ and the fee waiver info is included in the paragraph about Submission Fees:
