Contest Deadline November 30

 

It is not too late, but it is getting close, to submit your chapbook manuscript to Fledge chapbook contest sponsored by Middle Creek.   I am particularly fond of this prize, as my collection Catchments won last year—solid evidence that you CAN do it. 

But I have discovered that it is difficult to get published if you don’t buy the stamp and send in your work.  And in this case, you don’t even need to buy a stamp: you just send an electronic file. 

BUT YOU NEED TO GET YOUR SUBMISSION IN BY NOVEMBER 30.

'Have more than 40 pages? Consider the Halcyon prize.

'Fiction more your thing than poetry?  How about the Osprey prize?

All three of these contests are sponsored by Middle Creek Publishing and you can read more about each at  https://www.middlecreekpublishing.com/contests

 

What is a “Chapbook”?  Essentially it is a short collection of writing, usually verse. While a full length poetry book might be upwards of 80 pages, chapbooks tend to be 20-40 pages.  One source I consulted called them “teeny," but the writing inside doesn’t have to be small.
