Rose Metal Press Ninth Annual Short Short Chapbook Contest

ANNUAL SHORT SHORT CHAPBOOK CONTEST

Our Ninth Annual Short Short Chapbook Contest submission period beginsNovember 1 and ends December 1, 2014. Our 2014 judge will be Pamela Painter. The winner will have his/her chapbook published in summer 2015, with an introduction by the contest judge. During the submission period, please submit your 25–40 page double-spaced manuscript of short short stories (fiction or nonfiction) each under 1000 words to our Submittable contest site with a $10 reading fee. Multiple entries from the same author are acceptable as long as each is accompanied with a separate fee.

Individual pieces in your manuscript may have appeared in journals, both in print and online, as long as the entire collection itself is unpublished. Do not put your name anywhere on the manuscript itself as submissions will be judged blind. Please be sure your name and contact information are correct in the submission program when you submit your manuscript, so we can contact you once a winner has been chosen.

Examples of previous winners can be viewed and purchased through our catalog page.
