Sadly, we are not funded and cannot pay authors and there are no contributor copies.

We are not accepting tanka prose or prose with yongyoshi (four line poems) at this time.

We will consider articles on haibun or haiku (but no submissions of individual haiku). If you would like to submit an article please email the subject of your article and its word count and we will be in touch with you if we wish to consider it.

There will be no restrictions of the length of submissions of haibun.

The Journal has about 60 printed pages, is of a high production standard, printed in Ireland and posted internationally.

The Haibun Journal will have first rights so future publishers are required to credit The Haibun Journal for previously unpublished work it puts into print.

The Haibun Journal retains the right to reprint, electronically or in print, any original work it first publishes with the author being credited accordingly.

Correspondence between the editors and any party are confidential and may not be reproduced without the agreement of the editors.
