How to Publish a Poem in India

One of the most common questions aspiring poets ask is deceptively simple: How do I publish a poem in India?

If you are looking for a place to begin, let me offer a clear and open answer.

At PoemsIndia.in, we believe that poetry should not be locked behind paywalls, institutional connections, or exclusive circles. It should be accessible. And it should be real.

We publish poems in English and Hindi. We welcome voices from all walks of life: new writers, experienced poets, students, elders, workers, dreamers.

How to Submit

The process is simple.

1. Visit poemsindia.in/submit

2. Share your poem along with your name and a brief note about yourself (if you wish)

3. Wait for our editors to respond. We read every submission with care and intention

There are no fees, no hidden conditions, and no complicated forms. What matters is the poem. That is all we ask for.
