All submissions should be made through our submittable page.
This series has a reading period, not a contest/competition. With your submission, please tell us a little about yourself, and share how your manuscript connects with the theme.
Manuscripts should be between 48-80 pages long, not including front matter. Please include a table of contents; an acknowledgments page is welcomed but not required.
There is no reading fee for submissions.
The press is particularly interested in reading work by writers who have been historically underrepresented in, and/or marginalized, by traditional literary institutions.
We welcome submissions from both emerging and established writers.
Submissions will be accepted between May 1-June 30; the book selection will be announced by September 1, with publication the following year.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted; please contact the press immediately if the manuscript is no longer available.
Books will be published by Codhill Press and distributed by Codhill and SUNY Press; authors will receive 20 copies of the collection.
