This chapbook contest is open to writers worldwide, though poems must be original in English (no translations).
Submissions should be chapbook length, 32 - 40 pages with some thematic or structural cohesion. While we love prose poetry, this time please send only poems. Multiple entries are allowed, however each collection of poems is a separate entry requiring its own entry fee.
Entries will be screened in a blind review by the editors of Ravenna Press and those passing the initial screening will be forwarded to Ravenna’s associate judges, Cooper Renner, Harold Bowes and John Burgess, who will make the final decisions.
Submission Guidelines:

For hardcopy entries: Type or print clearly your name, address, email address, phone number, and the title of the chapbook onto a coversheet. No contact information should appear on the collection itself. Please number the pages and include a Table of Contents with your entry and an entry fee of $15.00 US by check or money order payable to Ravenna Press. Mail your entry to:

For entry by email, no coversheet is necessary. Include "Cathlamet" and your last name in the subject line. Address the email to: editor@ravennapress.com. Only the title of the collection (no entrant's name or contact information) may appear within the attached manuscript which should be a Word or PDF document. Please do include a Table of Contents and Acknowledgements, and number the pages. Payment of the entry fee should be via PayPal.
