Buddhist & Buddhist-Inspired Themes
Publisher: Rebel Satori Press
Submission Period: September 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026
Rebel Satori Press is now accepting submissions of full-length poetry manuscripts that explore or are inspired by Buddhism and contemplative traditions. We are seeking collections that engage deeply with themes such as:
- Mindfulness and meditation
- Haiku and Zen poetics
- Transience, impermanence, and presence
- Bodhisattva paths, koans, and awakened insight
- Daily practice and radical stillness
Whether your work is rooted in Zen, Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Vajrayāna, or draws from contemporary or syncretic spiritual traditions, we welcome voices that bring depth, originality, and a personal lens to these themes.
We are especially interested in voices that challenge conventions and offer fresh perspectives. LGBTQIA+ poets and writers from marginalized and underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to submit. As a press committed to radical spirituality, queer consciousness, and literary innovation, we believe that contemplative writing can be both revolutionary and transformative.
Manuscript Guidelines:
- Full-length collections of approximately 50–100 pages
- Thoughtfully arranged and complete works (not chapbooks)
- Submit in a single PDF or DOCX file
- Include a cover letter with a short bio and a brief note about how your work relates to Buddhist or contemplative themes
- Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but notify us if your manuscript is accepted elsewhere
- No submission fee
Bring your breath to the page. Let stillness speak.
We look forward to reading your work.
