Please remove any identifying information from the manuscript. Previously published work OK as long as the whole collection has not been published (even self published) before. Simultaneous submissions are fine. We charge $16 fee to enter the contest. Everyone who enters gets a copy of the winning letterpress, hand sewn chapbook or any in stock chapbook from out catalogue.** In this way we are all supporting each other. We're not in this to get rich but we are in this for the community. Us. You. Love. ((and if we all get rich that'd be ok too)). Winner gets $250 & 25 copies of their chapbook.
**unfortunately, due to the crazy cost of mailing anything outside of the USA, we cannot send physical chapbooks to entrants residing outside the US. we can, however, with the author's permission, share a pdf of the winning book with folks we cannot send a physical copy to... I know this sucks, but it sucks too to spend almost $30 on postage to send a chapbook to Italy.
