Postmark Deadline: December 1, 2007
Prize: 100 Copies of a perfect-bound chapbook
Reading Fee: $20, checks payable to Concrete Wolf
Final Judge: Janet Norman Knox

We prefer chapbooks that have a theme, either obvious (i.e. chapbook about a divorce) or understated (i.e. all the poems mention a shade of blue). We like a collection that feels more like a whole than a sampling of work. We have no preference as to formal or free verse. Excellence of any style gets our attention.

Submission Guidelines

16 to 26 pages of poetry, plus a table of contents and acknowledgments (if applicable).
Number all your poetry pages. Include 2 cover sheets, one with title, author information (including email and phone), and one with title only. Reading Fee: $20 (US funds), checks payable to Concrete Wolf. SASE for results only. Manuscripts cannot be returned. Include a 6.5” by 9.5” envelope stamped with $1.82 postage if you’d like a copy of the winning chapbook.

Simultaneous and multiple submissions okay. Please notify us by email if you need to remove your chapbook from consideration. e-mail: ConcreteWolf@yahoo.com

Winner will be announced in February 2008 and published late Summer 2008.
