It’s that time again.

Yes, Alligator Stew has opened her box and is awaiting delivery of your poetry. From the dust covered corners, to the unemployment queues, she calls to you to bring your world into the beautiful, hand-crafted pages she delivers.

Alligator Stew is all about progression- learning what works and pushing onwards. This time around her cover will be printed in glorious letterpress; some, if not all, of the poems will be illustrated by a select group of very talented artists; each copy will be hand-bound into quality cardstock. There will be craft, there will be graft, there will be the reward of a contributor copy for all those who wield a pen/typewriter/laptop/etch-a-sketch and succeed in pulling our heart from the stone.

If you’re interested in submitting to Alligator Stew please click on ‘Submit’ at the top of this page for submission guidelines. If you’re an artist who is interested in illustrating one or two of our submissions then please also have a look at our submission guidelines.

With your help this will be the most handsome issue yet.

Thanks for listening

Mr Lally
