Writing Competition: Wells College Press Poetry Chapbook Contest


Wells College Press invites submissions to its annual poetry chapbook contest. The deadline for the 2018 competition is January 10, 2018. The winner will be announced in February 2018. 
 
The author of the chosen manuscript will receive 15 copies of the letterpress-printed, hand-sewn chapbook. The author will also be invited to read from their new chapbook at Wells College in the fall of 2018. The poet will receive a $1,000 honorarium + room and board for the reading. 
 
We print editions of 150 signed and numbered copies. We craft every aspect of our chapbooks individually and obsessively: Prior chapbooks have included type and ornament cast in metal at the Bixler Letterfoundry in Skaneatles as well as wood engravings specifically commissioned for those projects. Our books also feature hand-set title pages and hand-sewn bindings. The winning chapbook will continue this tradition of craftsmanship.
