Tilt Press is proud to announce its second open reading period for poetry chapbook manuscripts by emerging poets only – poets who have not yet published a chapbook or full length collection of work.
If you are an emerging poet looking to publish your first chapbook manuscript, please read our guidelines.
Open Reading Period: July 13th, 2009—September 1st, 2009
Submission Guidelines:
We only take electronic submissions. Please email your manuscript as a .doc attachment to submit@tiltpress.com
Include your full name in the subject line followed by the title of your manuscript, e.g. – Jill Smith—Bridges Under Water
¨ Send between 15-27 pages of poetry, numbered.
¨ Include two title pages: One with the title of your manuscript, full name, and contact information. One with only the title of your manuscript.
¨ Include a table of contents and an acknowledgements page. We do accept individual poems within the manuscript that have been previously published in journals, but please acknowledge those publications.
¨ In the body of your email, please include a cover letter and biography.
¨ Simultaneous submissions are welcome, as long as we are notified immediately if your manuscript has been selected for publication elsewhere.
¨ Response time will vary. We intend to inform our shortlist of 10 that their manuscripts
are under consider for the three spots. We estimate a final decision by mid-October of 2009.
¨ We do not have a reading fee!
