About

As a team of book nerds whose love of reading truly began in high school, we at The Head & The Hand Press are so excited to partner with the Science Leadership Academy on the 4th Floor Chapbook Series, which is accepting young adult fiction and poetry submissions to be published and displayed in a custom-built vending machine at the SLA this fall. We think of vending machines as a logical home for chapbooks (the literary equivalent of a snack), and we think the Science Leadership Academy is the perfect home for our new series. We are seeking YA fiction stories or collections of poems. All subjects and genres are welcome. We will include two of our chapbook stories and/or poetry collections in The Head & The Hand Press’s Community Supported Publishing bi-annual “harvest” sent to members who want to sample the fruits of press in a way that’s healthy for independent publishers and book lovers alike.

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.
For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
