2008 Chapbook Contest
Postmark Deadline: November 3, 2008
Prize: 100 Copies of a perfect-bound chapbook
Reading Fee: $20, checks payable to Concrete Wolf.
Final Judge: Elizabeth Austen
We prefer chapbooks that have a theme, either obvious (i.e. chapbook about a divorce) or understated (i.e. all the poems mention the color blue). 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. We probably slightly favor lyric and narrative poetry to language and concrete, but excellent examples of any style get our attention.
Submission Guidelines
16 to 26 pages of poetry, plus a table of contents and acknowledgements (if applicable).
Please number all your pages.
Include 2 cover sheets, one with title, author information (including email and phone), and one just with the title.
Reading Fee: $20, checks payable to Concrete Wolf.
