You don't have to have been published a hundred times before to get your poetry into Popshot. In fact, we quite like it if you haven't. Visit the submit page to find out more about submitting your poetic gems.

Popshot is a poetry and illustration magazine gently intent on hoodwinking poetry back from the clammy hands of school anthologies and funeral readings. It is not a namedrop session or a further attempt to immortalise the great poets of days gone by. We are here to showcase the poetry of today and tomorrow with the whimsical arms of illustration wrapped tightly round it. We are of the thought that the future of poetry is even more exciting than the past.

Each issue contains a collection of poems written to a theme. These selected poems are individually sent out to a collection of illustrators who then illustrate the poems according to their interpretation of the piece. These illustrations are then bound together with the poems and printed onto sheets of tree pulp for your enjoyment.
