Welcome to Sixteen Rivers Press!

Sixteen Rivers Press  is a shared-work, nonprofit poetry collective dedicated to providing an alternative publishing avenue for San Francisco Bay Area poets. Founded in 1999 by seven writers, the press is named for the sixteen rivers that flow into the San Francisco Bay. Since 2001, we have produced eighteen outstanding books of poetry, sharing our commitment to excellence with the poetry world.

Sixteen Rivers Press Anthology

Call for Submissions: For a forthcoming anthology, Sixteen Rivers Press is seeking poems of place set in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We interpret place broadly—it may be natural, cultural, or psychological space. And we interpret the region broadly as well, to include the cities, suburbs, towns, rural and wilderness areas that make up the entire Bay Area watershed. Please send up to three unpublished or published poems, plus an SASE, to Anthology, Sixteen Rivers Press, P.O. Box 640663, San Francisco, CA 9416. For published poems, please include the place and date of publication and the name of the copyright holder. Deadline: March 1, 2009.

For our full-length manuscript submissions guidelines please see our regular submissions page.
