Poets- A Great Opportunity

May 15 Deadline
The Slapering Hol Press at the Hudson Valley Writers’ Center is accepting submissions for its 2009 Chapbook Competition. Poets who have not yet published a book or chapbook are eligible, and winners receive a $1,000 cash prize, publication, 10 books, and a reading at the Hudson Valley Writers' Center. At the discretion of the judges, a second chapbook may be selected for publication with an award of $250. To apply, submit by mail a poetry manuscript of 16-20 pages, a $15 reading fee made out to the Hudson Valley Writers’ Center, and a SASE for results notification. Manuscripts should include a title page and a separate cover sheet with the author’s contact info, bio, and acknowledgements; note that the artist’s name should not appear on the manuscript itself.
