Free to enter, Redwood Coast Press New Poet Series, prize: publication and royalties

Deadline: 31 May 2011

New Poet Series

Redwood Coast Press publishes first books of poetry. This is for you if you have not yet had a manuscript of your poetry published by a professional press. Our thinking is that it is much easier to get a second book published than it is to get a first out there. We are committed to bringing new poetry into the world. Through to May 31, 2011 we invite submissions for our 2011 list.

Any time from this very instant, through May 31, 2011, we invite you to send, in pdf format, a:

• poetry manuscript of at least 64 pages

You may also send:

• brief biography (25 to 50 words)
• publishing history (list of publications and awards)
• list of work from the collection that has been previously published

Please send submissions to redwoodcoastpresssubmissions@gmail.com

Submissions before May 31, 2011, will be considered for publication in 2011.

We will send you an immediate notification of receipt, and will post the forthcoming book(s) on this webpage before August 30, 2011.

We pride ourselves on honoring aesthetic diversity. Our press publishes work of exceptional skill and craft, and is not tied to any particular school of poetic thought. Create strong work and send it to us. We will read it.

We pay royalties of 10%, enter your poetry book into competitions, and partner with you to publicize the book.
