We are currently seeking submissions to our second annual L+S PRESS Mid-Atlantic Chapbook Series, in which an author’s first collection of poetry will be selected by the editors and published in the summer of 2015.

Submitters must be practicing poets residing in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, or Pennsylvania. Manuscripts should be between 20 and 32 pages long. This should be the poet’s first published manuscript. Prior publication of individual pieces is fine; please include any acknowledgement of prior publication in the cover letter field when uploading your work to our submissions manager. Simultaneous submissions will be accepted; please withdraw your manuscript immediately should it become unavailable. 

Deadline: April 10, 2015. Poets will be notified about the status of their manuscript by May 15, 2015.  

Your $5 submission fee will help us offset printing costs. Thank you!
