Are any of these based in the UK? I am a British Christian poet looking to submit, but cannot find any UK Christian presses, magazines or competitions etc.

As a Christian poet myself, I believe you can still submit to any of the literary magazines on this list regardless of where they’re based. And even if you did submit to a Christian literary magazine not based in the UK exclusively, your work will reach many more people out there. Just earlier I found a literary magazine for Christian writers with an editorial team based in various parts of the UK. It’s called Areopagus Magazine. Go to https://www.areopagus.org.uk. Hope this helped and best of luck!

The Society of Classical Poets is very Christian-friendly; the magazine publishes explicitly conservative and Christian poetry on a regular basis. https://classicalpoets.org/
