Wildfire Words offers you a simple opportunity to make your poem heard as well as seen
Wildfire Words aims to publish audio alongside almost all writing we publish. Some contributors submit audio they recorded themselves with their poem.
Recording audio on your phone, tablet, or computer takes a few minutes. You can then upload that file with the poem’s text when you submit it. Or you can record after you know your work is published.
It doesn’t matter what format you use — we can usually convert any audio quickly to the MP3 format that we need for Wildfire Words.
If you don’t want to record yourself, we will do it for you at one of our recording sessions.
If you choose someone else to read your work, you can book an audience place for yourself and a reader place for your speaker. We can provide a good speaker for you if you request it.
Let people hear your voice
as they read your poetry
A publishing opportunity exclusive to Wildfire Words is for a global audience to hear your poem or prose alongside its printed text.
If you would like to say your words to readers who choose to read them, Wildfire Words can help. Your poem is more likely chosen by a visitor to our website when there’s a 
next to your name, showing you have made audio of your text.

Poems will be read in the order in which a reservation is made. You will be sent a running order and a link to the event on the day before the event. After the event, each recording will be published next to the its text.
If you have several pieces to record, your slot may be listed at the end of the meeting.
When you submit to a free submission window, including a well-read audio with your text might just tip the balance and result in publication. Recording a poem may also suggest to you some changes which improve the text.
If providing a properly spelled or structured text is a challenge for you, we will accept an audio-only submission.
The recording events are for anyone published on Wildfire Words or booked for publication. You will be able to read from your published text, which will be shown on screen for everyone there. This enables you to share your work with other readers, and then on Wildfire Words, which reaches poets and readers in all continents.
