Poetry Submissions
Eligibility
Submissions to the Poetry Series are open to any poet writing in English who adheres to the guidelines detailed on Submittable and provides the reading fee.
Manuscripts must be at least 48 pages, exclusive of front matter.
Submissions
Manuscripts for the Poetry Series should be sent during the annual submission period of September 1 – September 30.
All submissions must be sent through our Submittable system, which allows you to enter your manuscript, provide your contact information, and check the status of your submission.
Submission Fee
Each manuscript must be accompanied by a $25.00 fee, paid through Submittable at the time of your submission.
Simultaneous Submissions
Manuscripts being considered by other publishers are allowed, but if a manuscript is accepted for publication elsewhere, please notify the Press, and withdraw your manuscript through Submittable.
Results
The Press receives hundreds of manuscripts during each open period. Each manuscript is read with the care it deserves, but the large number of submissions means that we are unable to provide critiques or enter into correspondence of any sort with writers other than those whose manuscripts are accepted for publication.

Fiction Submissions
Eligibility
Collections of short fiction and full length novels will be considered if they meet the following criteria:

- Eligible submissions include an unpublished manuscript of short stories; two or more novellas (a novella may comprise a maximum of 130 double-spaced typed pages); a combination of one or more novellas and short stories; or a complete novel. Novellas are only accepted as part of a larger collection. Manuscripts may be no fewer than 150 and no more than 300 pages. Prior publication of your manuscript as a whole in any format (including electronic) makes it ineligible.
- Collections containing stories or novellas previously published in magazines or journals or as part of an anthology are eligible.
