We and our team of readers are in the process of finalizing the 2017 chapbook contest entries and narrowing down this year’s finalists. Sorry for the delay in the process, but we are all set to announce the finalists by the end of April, after which they will be read and judged by the phenomenal Judith Vollmer.

We are honored to be spending time with your work and promise to get back to you soon! At that time, we will also be announcing the names of the poets selected for the 50/50 Anthology.

We thank you for your patience and really appreciate you being part of our vibrant community of poets.

In poetry,
Ann & Anu

Hello dear subscribers and submitters!

We hope everyone is enjoying these last few days of the holiday season and gearing up for the start of a new year.

We understand that the holidays can be extremely hectic for most of you, and a New Year’s Day deadline can be hard to meet, so in the spirit of all things new, we have extended our Chapbook Contest deadline to January 15, 2018. We hope this will give you all a chance to relax and take a deep breath, look over your submissions, and submit your best work to us! We look forward to your work, and we promise to give it our best attention!

Wish you all a very happy 2018!

We’re very excited to bring to you our 2017 Chapbook Contest, all set to launch tomorrow! And we’re honored to have the amazing Judith Vollmer as the contest judge. Please click here for the guidelines. We look forward to reading your manuscripts!
