The deadline has passed, this contest is now closed. Please review the rules below which apply to all of our poetry contests, and again - thanks for participating.






Contest Rules


1) Send in Manuscript, Fee, Table of Contents, a list of previously published work, if any, and a SASE (if you want a written response, otherwise we will e-mail) to 3412 Terrace Drive #1731 Alexandria, VA 22302.
2) Manuscripts will NOT be returned
3) Our judge does not read all submissions. We have a cache of readers who narrow down the field to a smaller group of semifinalists, which the judge reads. Our readers give comments/feedback. Please keep that in mind.
4) Chapbook must be in English, although there may be passages or words in other languages.
5) Winners of the contest will get a proof copy of the book before it gets printed. With the exception of punctuation and spelling, the manuscript version that the judge picks (fiction or poetry) is the version we are publishing. YOU MAY NOT RE-EDIT YOUR BOOK!
6) We encourage the winner's feedback for the cover image. We will not buy rights for an artist's work.
7) Though available, ISBNs are not included in the contest.
8) You may submit more than one manuscript, but each must be accompanied by an additional reading fee
9) Any manuscripts without fees will not be considered.
10) We reserve the right not to reprint the book, but will consider a reprint if books sell out. A contract will be drawn up if author wishes to reprint
11) Book design is the copyright of Plan B Press. Book may not be printed without Plan B Press's consent. Any cover imagery created by Plan B Press is also the copyright of publisher and may not be reprinted without permission
