Seven CirclePress is pleased to announce that it is now accepting submissions for its first ever Chapbook/SpotLight contest via. Email.
SCP seeks a collection of poetry, 12-28 pages long, that shows strong technical ability and a passion for the written word.
The chapbook should be previously unpublished as a collection. If individual poems have been published elsewhere please include the appropriate information ( journal name, publisher, date, URL etc.) that they may be credited.
Poems may relate to any theme or subject matter, SCP does not shy away from the less savory aspects of life.
Poems should be arranged in the order you would like them to appear when published, should be typed in a clear, legible font ( ex. 12 pt. Times New Roman) and pre-scanned for any major grammatical errors.
Please save your work in either .doc, .rtf, or .odt format.
Title your file » » » » » » »Book Name - Your Name
Include a cover letter ( Preferably in the body of your email ) that contains such things as your name, the chapbook title, email address, mailing address, short bio and any other information or thoughts you would like to share.
Please write in the header to your email» » » » » » » Your Name- SCP Contest
All work may be emailed to contest@sevencirclepress.com.
The deadline for submissions is April 1st, 2010.
Winner will be announced both online and via. Email in June of 2010.
Winner will receive 30 author copies and three of the poems from the collection will be selected to be used in the creation of a special SCP SpotLight, which is made available online to be printed and distributed by our Vendors Project. ( 15 SpotLights will be pre-printed and also awarded the winner).
There is no reading fee. However please note that SCP is also offering no monetary payment to the winner. The author of the selected chapbook will be paid with publication and contributor's copies. All other proceeds will go to the continuation of the press and any future publications.
Copies of the chapbooks will also be sent to the contributors of the current issue of CircleShow.
A select number of copies will be sold in Independent bookstores around the Seattle/Kings County area.
The work will be continuously available on sevencirclepress.com via. The SCP Books Webpage
The Winning author will have the choice of contributing cover/interior art and will be encouraged to play as much or as little a part as they desire in the book designing process.
We look forward to reading your work.
Please email us with any other questions/concerns you may have.
