Etchings Press Book Prizes A project of Etchings Press (see other related projects). About Etchings Press, a student-run publisher at University of Indianapolis, welcomes submissions for its annual contests: a chapbook of poetry, a chapbook of prose, and a novella. UIndy graduate and undergraduate students will read the submitted manuscripts and choose a winner in each category. The students will then edit, design, publish, and promote the chapbooks and the novella. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. The fee range is USD $7 to $12 (below average for contests). Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to "authors in the region" [see their site for details].
