Poetry & Artwork
Twyckenham Notes publishes poetry and artwork three times a year (March, July, and November). We pay $25 for accepted pieces and nominate for all major awards. Submissions are always open. The best way to see what kind of work we like is to familiarize yourself by reading some of our past issues. Accepted poets are encouraged to send an audio recording of their poem(s) and may be invited to readings in South Bend.

Featured Artist Series
Twyckenham Notes features work by select artists in an online gallery format several times a year. There is no submission fee. Featured Artists are promoted on the front page of the website and archived online. While we tend to focus on visual artists, we have featured work by poets before, and we are open to reviewing art in any medium or form for possible features. Be bold.
