From the Shearsman Books, Ltd. guidelines:

We only publish poetry, although we do take on some critical work on poetry, and also, occasionally, memoirs and essays by poets. We definitely are not looking for fiction, books for children, or works of a religious nature. We do not publish books with illustrations, except in very rare circumstances, and never with colour images.

We publish mainly poetry by British, Irish, North American and Australian poets, plus poetry in translation from any language, but have a particular interest in German and Spanish & Latin American poetry.

Please do not submit a manuscript unless the majority of it has already appeared in UK or North American magazines of some repute, whether online or in print. It is very unlikely that a poet with no track record of publication in magazines in the UK, Australia or North America will be accepted for publication, as there is no obvious audience for the work.
