Poetry International Tiny Chapbook Contest

A project of Poetry International (see other related projects).

About

Our tiny chapbook competitions, held in the winter and summer of each year, give us the opportunity to locate and publish small collections of the best work of established and emerging poets. To that end, we are looking for 8-16 pages of strong, accomplished poems that speak to one another lyrically and thematically. Poems may be composed in English or in translation.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions.
The fee is USD $20 (average for contests).

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
