Despite being open for just two weeks, we were absolutely blown away by the interest in our chapbook submissions for 2019-2020 publication. In total, we received 68 manuscripts, with over two thousand pages of material! From this, we selected 30 manuscripts for our longlist and, from that, have selected the below shortlist, from which we’ll select our final choices for publication.
We are so grateful to each and every author who sent in their work—each stage of this process becomes more difficult as we select pieces from a phenomenal group of chapbooks.
From the following manuscripts, we’ll choose our final selections, which will be published by Nightingale & Sparrow Press between December 2019 and December 2020.
