About Iota
Iota is a literary magazine founded in Derbyshire in 1987.
Three poetry issues are published each year along with up to
three iOTA shot Poetry Pamphlets.
Each issue contains over one hundred pages of excellent new
work, reviews and interviews in a superbly designed and
produced paperback format. We offer ample space to each
poet - all have several poems published alongside fascinating
and insightful interviews with writers.
Submissions of new poetry are welcome all year round and
submissions may be emailed or posted to us in a printed
format.

____________________________________________
Over the last twenty-five years many established poets have
featured in the pages of Iota, still more poets who are carving
out excellent reputations had early work published there. It
has been a fertile proving ground for many and has frequently
offered the first opportunity for publication to upcoming
poets. We hope that alongside the best poets writing today,
the reader will find many new poets to watch out for in the
future. There will be familiar names; but also international
poets being introduced to a new audience.
We apply an anonymous selection process because we feel
strongly that inclusion should be based entirely on the poems
rather than on the poet's reputation. We don’t want to be
swayed by names we recognise; we want to be delighted by
poems standing in the world alone. We also want each poet to
be represented by more than one poem, and we consider each
piece of work on its merits.

iOTA shots Pamphlet Awards
The iOTA shots Awards are an additional opportunity for
poets to have shorter poetry collections or chapbooks
published by Templar. The inaugural Iota shots arrived with
Iota 89 and all single issues of Iota purchased online include a
complimentary copy of one of the iOTA shots.
An iOTA shot will be whatever the poet makes it. It might be
a series of sonnets - one of the first winners is just that -
haiku, a sequence, a single narrative poem, a mini-epic or
simply a short collection. Three submissions are selected for
publication and each winning poet receives £100 and 100
copies of their iOTA shot. All writers who submit also receive
a complimentary iOTA shot collection.
Templar supports its published poets in organising live
launch events for their work and the first iOTA shot launch
took place in Belfast with events in in London and many other
locations featuring Templar poets and guests.
Templar Poetry is committed to developing the short
collection or pamphlet as a significant opportunity for new
work to attract new readers. An excellent overview of the
contemporary pamphlet was published in Iota and can be
viewed here
The 2014 iOTA shots open for submission
in May 2013: Further details here
