About

Green Linden Press is a nonprofit publisher of broadsides, chapbooks, and books of poetry. Our publications include the Green Linden Chapbook Series, the Essential Voices Anthology Series, and two annual book contests: The Wishing Jewel Prize [listed separately] awarded for poetic innovation, and the Stephen Mitchell Translation Prize. Our green mission has us give a portion of proceeds for reforestation; to date we have planted 875 trees.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.)
The fee range is USD $15 to $23 (average to above average for publishers that charge).

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.
