ABOUT PALOOKA PRESS
The press was founded to offer a publishing opportunity for writers seeking a home for shorter manuscripts.
THE CONTEST
We take great pride in reading every word and giving each manuscript its due attention. We consider manuscripts of all types, styles, and genres and aren't looking for a particular aesthetic. We're willing to give anything a fair chance. Please send your best fiction, poetry, nonfiction, graphic narrative, or hybrid genres. Manuscripts should be roughly 35-50 pages, but we're flexible. The $10 entry fee comes with an electronic issue of Palooka.
THE WINNER RECEIVES...
*Publication by Palooka Press (a perfect-bound book with a glossy color cover)
*$200 honorarium
*20 free copies of the book
*A bio and photo featured on our website
*Chapbook will be sent out for review and promotion
DEADLINE: May 15, 2017
JUDGING
All submissions are read "blind" to ensure pure contest ethics. The contest judge is Jonathan Starke, the founding editor of Palooka. Jonathan has published essays, stories, poetry, and plays in The Sun, Missouri Review, Threepenny Review, North American Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Greensboro Review, Shenandoah, Brevity, River Teeth, and Fourth Genre, among others.
GUIDELINES
*Amount: Multiple submissions are permitted.
*Page count: 35-50 pages, roughly, but we're open to more or less.
*Formatting: No author information on the manuscript.
*Bio section: Please identify if the manuscript is fiction, poetry, nonfiction, graphic narrative, or hybrid.
*Simultaneous submissions: Encouraged. Please withdraw your manuscript if accepted elsewhere.
*It's OK if some of the work has been previously published; proper citations will be made.
