As with the last two years, we’re sticking to an open-genre model. Send us poetry, short-fiction, non-fiction, or any combination or hybridization therein. No restrictions as to subject matter or form apply, although we urge you to look at our About Us statement for the type of writing that we favor.
Please keep your submission to 18-52 pp.
The winning writer will receive $500, publication, and 20 copies. Quarterly West will publish a runner-up, as well as 1-2 editors’ picks. All published authors will receive 20 copies of their chapbook.
As judging is anonymous, any manuscripts with identifying marks (including an acknowledgements section) will be discarded.
The submission fee is $20, which will include the receipt of a Quarterly West chapbook from the inventory.
The deadline is August 1, 2020.
Submit your work here.
