Cabin Reading Series (Poetry Collections)

Poetry collections should be at least 70 pages of poetry. A good amount of the poems should be speculative, but in a collection you can include your non-speculative poems as well, since collections are designed to showcase a wider range of your work than chapbooks. Collections will be available as hardbacks, paperbacks, and ebooks.

Formatting and Submitting a Poetry Chapbook or Collection

Poems should be sent together in the same document, one poem per page (unless you have some small poems grouped together —e.g., 5 haiku about flies). Have an acknowledgment page listing where poems were first published. Don’t worry about a table of contents (our typesetting program will create one automatically), but have the poems in the order that you want them to be. If accepted it could be that we might suggest changes to the order or the removal of some poems. For example, we prefer to have two-page poems start on an even page, so the reader doesn’t have to turn the page to finish the poem.
