Little Pigeon Chapbook Series A project of Alternating Current Press (see other related projects). About Sometimes ideas aren’t big enough for a whole book. Sometimes … they’re Little Pigeon-sized. Our press started out with chapbooks way back in its humble beginnings in the 1990s, so to pay homage to our literary heritage—and to the fact that some ideas are simply smaller but carry no less of a gigantic wallop—we’ve brought back the chapbook. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.) The fee is USD $8.99 (below average for publishers that charge).
