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).

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.
