Blood Pudding Press still accepting submissions

Blood Pudding Press is still accepting submissions for its first poetry chapbook contest!

Chapbook manuscript submissions will be accepted through February 28, 2009.

Two winning chapbooks will be chosen—one to be published in Spring 2009 (April or May) and one to be published in Summer 2009 (June or July). The winners will be announced in March. Each winner will receive fifteen free copies of their chapbook, which will be a ribbon-bound, delectably designed affair.

There is a $5.00 fee per manuscript for entering this contest; these entry fees will be used to purchase supplies for publishing the winning chapbooks. The fee is payable to the editor’s Paypal account at JulietX@Bust.com. (You may either use Paypal’s Send Payment feature to send payment to that email address—or use the Donation button near the bottom right hand side of the page here–or if you would like to make alternative payment arrangements, you may contact me.)

I would like to consider collections of 10-20 poems. Some of the poems may be previously published, but the collection as a whole should not have been published before. Send your collection of poems to JulietX@Bust.com along with title, acknowledgments, a brief bio, and your contact data. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but if your manuscript is accepted elsewhere, please let me know right away.

Blood Pudding Press is also accepting submissions for our new online literary publication, Thirteen Myna Birds. Please visit http://13myna.blogspot.com for the semi-amorphous guidelines. Submissions for this project will be accepted on a rolling basis, indefinitely.

Lots of new goodies have recently been added to the Blood Pudding Press etsy shop at www.BloodPuddingPress.etsy.com. Why not take a peek and help support independent poetry and art?
