Lit Hub Daily

ABOUT

Lit Hub Daily is the flagship newsletter of Literary Hub, the online magazine launched in 2015 by Grove Atlantic and Electric Literature (with Jonny Diamond as editor-in-chief) as a consortium project among dozens of publishers, magazines, and literary organizations. The site aggregates and produces criticism, essays, interviews, excerpts, and news across fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and operates sister verticals CrimeReads and Book Marks (a review-aggregation site modeled on Rotten Tomatoes). The daily email compiles that day's Lit Hub, CrimeReads, and Book Marks coverage into a single dispatch, making it one of the most widely read general-interest literary newsletters in the U.S.

For a poet, this is not a submission venue but a monitoring tool: sign-up is free via a simple email-capture form at lithub.com/newsletter, with no fee and no editorial gatekeeping since it's a syndication digest rather than a journal. Poetry coverage is intermittent but real — recurring features like monthly 'best new poetry collections' roundups (e.g., Craig Morgan Teicher's column), poet interviews, and craft essays surface a few times a month rather than daily, embedded among much heavier fiction/nonfiction and industry-news content. Useful for tracking which presses and poets are getting review attention, which grants/prizes get announced, and for occasional call-outs of open reading periods or awards mentioned in passing in the Hub's news roundups — but poets seeking submission opportunities should treat it as a discovery feed, not a direct channel.
