The Eggtooth Editions Chapbook Contest 2024
Eggtooth Editions Chapbook Contest (open September 15-December 15)
Award
Publication of winning manuscript and winner receives 20 copies of the chapbook
The Eggtooth Editions Chapbook Contest winner receives: $250 prize, publication of the winning manuscript as a physical book, and 20 author’s copies of the chapbook.
Who May Submit
The Eggtooth Editions Chapbook Contest is open to anyone writing in the English language who has not previously published a full-length book (defined as a solely authored work of more than 50 pages, self-publishing included) . Works may be jointly authored by multiple writers or artists; note, however, that collaborators will only receive 20 copies of the chapbook total, to be divided up at the discretion of the judges among joint authors. Translations are not eligible for this prize, nor are previously published or self-published books, though individual parts of a manuscript may have been previously published or produced. The author must have rights to the work. Close friends, family members, and current or former students of any of the contest judges or editors are not eligible.
Manuscript Requirements
Submit a previously unpublished manuscript. However, individual parts of a manuscript may have been previously published or produced (with not more than 50% of a manuscript published in a single outlet). All manuscripts are required to state the author contact information on the cover/title page: name, mailing address, phone number, and email. Please number pages. PDFs are preferred, but Word documents are acceptable.
You may include a table of contents, acknowledgement page, epigraphs, notes, or other front or back matter—however, all pages, including the cover/title page, are counted in the page length. Manuscript should be 15-50 pages in length.
Submissions must be made online to our email address eggtootheditions@gmail.com
Individual parts of the manuscript may have been previously produced, published online, or in magazines, journals, anthologies, etc., but the work as a whole must be unpublished.
Simultaneous submissions to other publishers or contests are permitted, as long as you notify the Eggtooth Editions staff promptly if a manuscript is accepted elsewhere. Multiple submissions, whether in the same or different genres, are also permitted.
Manuscripts must be black and white/grayscale.
Deadline
All submissions must be emailed (online) by December 15 to eggtootheditions@gmail.com. Multiple submissions not permitted.
