I thoroughly appreciated my experience of publishing my chapbook with Glenn and Prolific Press. The entire experience from initial acceptance to book delivery at my doorstep was friendly, supportive, clear, and honest. After purchasing books from many different small presses, I chose to submit my work to Prolific Press based on the quality of the books they produce. They have a genuine care and interest in the books and the authors.

When you’re a writer, you come across some of the big bad guys in the publishing industry—people who never respond to your pitch, don’t read your manuscript, talk down to you, or who are simply unprofessional.

My experience with Prolific Press has been precisely the opposite. Glenn and April are consummate professionals, probably because they are writers themselves. They know the industry because they are part of it on all sides. Their respect of both the craft and the business is evident in the quality of their publications.

Prolific Press consistently publishes some of the very best haiku to be found. I am grateful for their expertise in selecting the best of the best for publication in Haiku Journal, and always look greatly forward to receiving the print edition in my mailbox.

Great Journals!
I have them all!

I'm a reader and I'm hooked. I have all the journals except 3 or 4 of the earlier Haiku Journals...Other than that, I have them all. I love reading all the journals Prolific Press offers. Inwood Indiana is probably my favorite, but Jitter and Dual Coast Magazine are definitely up there. If I had to offer criticism it would be that overseas shipping has been a little expensive but that is probably out of their control. A long time ago, I decided to pick a press and support them. I chose Prolific Press because they produce Poetry Quarterly and everyone knows that journal. They have never let me down. Every issue is delivered on time, the quality is great and they even send me a free gift once in a while. I love Prolific Press!

I have very much enjoyed my experience with Prolific Press-Three Line Poetry to be exact. They are one of the few publications who don't charge submission fees and the paperback issues are beautiful! They also pay a token payment to writers that they publish, which is much appreciated in this day and age of widespread expectation that writers should remain satisfied with working/writing for free. Kudos to Prolific Press!

A writer for more than forty years, I have had a number of pieces accepted by Prolific Press. I've also had a few rejected. Glenn Lyvers will not take just anything you send his way. A poet and writer himself, he understands the craft and sets a high standard for his contributors. To be published by Glenn and April is to work with a friendly, discriminating and professional team. It is also an opportunity to join a diverse and talented family of writers.

I started submitting poetry to Prolific Press in 2015 and have been published in Poetry Quarterly, Dual Coast Magazine, Inwood Indiana and Three Line Poetry. I trust Glenn’s judgement and care with my work. The quality and design of the journals have been first rate.

Glenn also hosts many helpful videos on the website on how to write poetry. Through these videos I have tried 3 line poetry and haiku for the first time.

Prolific Press supports writers at any stage of their career and I recommend them whole-heartedly. Glenn and his team are warm, personable and very easy to work with. Thank you!

The Fall 2018 edition of Poetry Quarterly reflects the delightful diversity of poetry today. Traditional Japanese forms (haiku and tanka) appear beside free verse. Reflections on nature serve as counterpoints for commentary on humankind's capacity for violence and self-destruction. This issue captures voices that ache with the need to be heard.

My poems have been accepted by a number of Prolific Press Journals, and some have been declined. The folks at Prolific Press seem to honestly care about their contributors, always treating me with kindness and encouragement. I continue to support them because this is very uplifting.

Prolific Press provides me with ongoing inspiration and terrific support for my work. I thoroughly enjoy reading the work they publish and working with them when my work finds its way into one of their journals. A terrific press.

Working with Glenn and the staff of Prolific Press is a pleasure. Communication and cooperation is timely and productive--and the turnaround time between submission, consideration, and a decision is first-rate.

The editors at Prolific Press do a fine job of communicating with the authors whose work appears in the journal Poetry Quarterly. We're kept informed about opportunities, status of submissions, and rare glitches. Kudos to the Press for carrying on through a pandemic for the benefit of their writers and readers!
