Coffee Table Chapbook Series Island of Wak-Wak Gold Star Program Gold Star The Coffee Table Chapbook Series features chapbook-length (20–60 pages) collections of poetry by a single poet. Although we prefer to have these as 100% speculative, we couldn’t resist having the first book in the series being about coffee and other caffeinated beverages. Each book has a thematic red thread to bind the poems together. In 2024, we published three chapbooks: Caffeinated by Annette Gagliardi, Ephemeral Village by Daniel Ausema and The Body Snatchers and Other Horrors by Kurt Newton. In 2025, we plan on publishing three to five chapbooks in the series. All chapbooks are printed and distributed by Books on Demand, Ingram Spark and Amazon.

Europe Standard Time (in 108 days).Coffee Table Chapbook Series A chapbook should be between 20 and 60 pages of poetry. The poems should all be speculative in nature. You do not need to have a special theme, story or gimmick to tie all the poems together, but it wouldn’t hurt either. Chapbooks will be available as paperbacks and ebooks.Simultaneous Submissions We accept simultaneous submissions, but be courteous and inform us immediately if a work gets accepted elsewhere. Reprints We do not accept reprints of chapbooks or collections. Please submit new books only. Individual works within a chapbook or collection can be reprints. AI Content We accept only human-created poetry and art. Publishing Rights Island of Wak-Wak reserves the right of first publication for all work it publishes. You retain the copyright. We will keep the book available via print-on-demand for five years. Formatting and Submitting a Poetry Chapbook 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.
