How many poems should a submission include?	Journal	How long should a writer wait before sending another submission after being rejected?
No less than three, no more than six [MJB, TD].	Boston Review Mary Jo Bang and Timothy Donnelly	Six months, unless one of us invites him or her to send sooner [MJB, TD].
Six short ones, two or three long ones, or some mix of the two.	Five Fingers Review Jaime Robles	Doesn't matter, unless they are the wrong kind of writer for the journal. One woman kept submitting poems to us that belonged in a teen romance magazine. I finally wrote to her and told her that she was wasting her stamps. It's always a good idea to have read the journal to which you submit poems.
Three to six poems.	The Journal Kathy Fagan	If we've asked a writer to re-submit, any time is a good time. Otherwise, I'd recommend at least six months between submissions.
Five poems (or fewer) gives us a good representation.	Oregon East Magazine Sheri Edvalson	Until the poet has generated a new idea that might fit our theme and aesthetic.
We welcome long submissions, provided adequate return postage is included. Half a dozen pieces works fine.	Salt John Kinsella	No time. Bombardment, however, always creates a negative impression.
Three to five.	The Seattle Review Colleen J. McElroy	One year.
Five poems per issue.	Verve Ron Reichick	A writer is welcomed to submit to each issue.
We are willing to publish a poem that comes in alone, but most poets send us three to six, which gives us a nice sense of the author's voice.	Whetstone Sandra Berris, Marsha Portnoy, Jean Tolle	Until the writer has a new work that seems worthy: i.e. ranging from the next day to never.
