Cider Press Review

Submission Guidelines

The editors read submissions of individual poems from January 1 to May 30 each year, and full manuscripts (in conjunction with our book awards) between April 1 and June 30, and September 1 and November 30 each year.

CPR offers two (2) book awards each calendar year, the Editor’s Prize in spring and the Cider Press Review Book Award in fall. Both contests award a cash prize, publication, and 25 author’s copies of a book length collection of poetry. Cider Press accepts submissions for the Editor’s Prize between April 1 and June 30 annually. The winner is selected by the editors of Cider Press Review. Cider Press accepts submissions for the Book Award between September 1 and November 30 annually. Judge for 2012 is Gray Jacobik.

We strongly encourage writers to use our online submission system: ciderpressreview.com/submissions/

For submissions to the book awards:

CPR offers two (2) book awards each calendar year. Both contests judge manuscripts blindly. Authors are requested to remove all contact information from their manuscript submissions. Any author failing to remove contact information from their manuscripts forfeits their anonymity but is otherwise judged identically to any other entrant.

Submit 48-80 pages of original poetry in English not previously published in book form (individual poems may have been previously published in journals, anthologies, and chapbooks).

Manuscripts must be accompanied by the contest entry fee of $25. All entrants will receive a copy of the winning book.

BY SUBMITTING A MANUSCRIPT TO THE CIDER PRESS REVIEW BOOK AWARD AND REMITTING ENTRY FEE, THE AUTHOR AGREES TO BE BOUND BY OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Manuscripts may be submitted either electronically or by mail. SASE for response only. No manuscripts will be returned.
