Fractured Lit Chapbook Prize A project of Fractured Lit (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (April 2024). We provide the following information as an archive. About Here at Fractured Lit, some of our favorite books to read are brief but dynamic chapbooks filled to the margins with fantastic flash, microfiction, and the occasional longer story. These short books aren’t just for poets anymore. There’s a particular joy to reading several flash fictions by the same author in a strong, cohesive minicollection. Flash may be short, but it’s so resonant and deep that it often needs to be read in short bursts, and chapbooks are the perfect place to collect these small but mighty stories! Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
