Bass Clef Books: General Submissions Fee: usd $12.00

Bass Clef Books reads general submissions June 15-Feb. 15.

Poets should send no more than 30 pages. Manuscripts must be submitted in as a .doc or .docx file, Courier or Times New Roman, 12 point font. Please include a cover page with the author's contact information, biography and list of acknowledgements for pieces previously published.

We ask that the manuscript does not include multiple tabulation or other fancy inserts. Doing so, impedes prompt publication.

Poets should not submit multiple manuscripts at one time--wait until you hear from us before sending another book. BCB hopes to respond in 1-2 months depending on the volume of submissions.

Simultaneous submissions are allowed; please contact BCB asap if book is taken elsewhere. A reading fee of only $12 is required.

We pay 10 author copies + royalties. Poets may purchase more copies at 1/2 price.

Bass Clef Books may consider individual poem(s) from each submitted manuscript to be included in an anthology series which will be published at certain intervals. Publication of these poems may take up to one year.
