Due to the volume of submissions we receive,
we cannot inform entrants of incorrectly
submitted or disqualified material, nor can we accept
any corrections or revisions to submissions.

- Please Consider -

We prefer chapbooks that have a theme, either obvious or understated. 
We like a collection that feels more like a whole than a sampling of work.
We have no preference as to formal or free verse.
