Epiphany Editions Chapbook Contests
Each year Epiphany Editions holds two contests: one in fiction and one in poetry. All Epiphany Editions contests are judged by established writers and the winners' manuscripts are published in conjunction with the publication of a manuscript written by the judge. Chapbooks are published in limited editions of 300 as both hand-sewn letterpress chapbooks and in our Book Kits format, which combines old-school letterpress with new-school PDF publishing.
Winners will be announced on this page and by e-mail.
