Details
Applications call for Rattle Chapbook Prize 2021. It is open to writers, worldwide; poems must be written primarily in English (no translations). Individual poems may be previously published in any format, but the manuscript as a whole must be unpublished as a collection.
Prizes
Three winners, judged by the editors of Rattle in an anonymous review, will receive $5,000 and 500 author copies of their chapbook, which will also be distributed to all of Rattle’s 7,000+ subscribers along with a future issue of the magazine.
At least one of the winners will be a poet who has never published a full-length collection of poetry (48 pages or more) prior to 2021.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts may be 15 – 30 pages of poems (not including front- or back-matter); with any reasonable fonts or font sizes (12 pt, etc.).
Applicants must not include any identifying information within the manuscript itself. If submitting in hard copy, include a cover letter that includes your contact information, the title of the manuscript, and previously published books; do not include a cover letter if using Submittable.
If any of the poems have been previously published, the entry must include an acknowledgments page.
A table of contents and page numbering preferred, but not a requirement.
