Pavement Saw Chapbook Contest 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
   
  $500 and 50 copies of the winning chapbook will be awarded for
the finest collection of poetry received. Everyone is allowed to submit
regardless of previous publication history. Every entrant will receive
the equivalent cost of the entry fee in Pavement Saw Press titles.

  The chapbooks are published in an edition of 400 copies. While
chapbooks rarely receive exposure, ours have been reviewed in Poets and
Writers, Publishers Weekly, American Poet, The Georgia Review, Small
Press Review and many others. Our previous winners have had subsequent
full length books appear from a bevy of publishers including Curbstone
Press, Cleveland State University Press, Bear Star Press, Blazevox Books,
University of Georgia , and Hanging Loose Press. 

  Submit up to 32 pages of poetry. Include a signed cover letter
with your name, address, phone number, e-mail, publication credits, a
brief biography and the title of the chapbook. Include a cover page with
your contact information and the chapbook title. Include a second page
with the chapbook title only. Do not include your name on any pages
inside the manuscript except for the first title page. No need for a
contents page. All chapbooks are selected blindly / anonymously. Entry fee:
$12. 

  If you wish to send via regular mail your manuscript should be
accompanied by a check in the amount of $12.00 made payable to Pavement
Saw Press. All US contributors to the contest will receive books,
chapbooks and journals equal to, or more than, the entry fee. Add $3 ( US )
for other countries to cover the extra postal charge. Do not include an
SASE for notification of results, this information will be sent with
the free book. Do not send the only copy of your work. All manuscripts
are recycled and individual comments on the manuscripts cannot be made.
Manuscripts will be considered until December 31st, 2007 for the prize.
This year the editor will be the judge and, as it should be, he
promises not to chose former students, former or potential sexual partners,
press interns, or people that can make him famous. In addition to the
prize winner, sometimes another anonymous manuscript is published under a
standard royalty contract. A decision will be reached in March.
Entries should be sent to our address at the bottom of the page.

  If you wish to submit electronically, you should send $18.00 via
paypal to info at pavementsaw.org. We will then send you an e-mail
confirmation as well as where to e-mail the manuscript. Electronic submissions
need to be sent as PDF files or as word (.doc) files. Other formats
are not accepted. The extra cost is to cover the paypal fees as well as
the time, labor, ink, and so on, to print out your manuscript.
