October is Submission Month!
Submit manuscripts in October
We will be accepting manuscripts for assessment for publication in the first half of 2019. We'll be looking for novels, novellas, scripts, collections of poetry, collections of short stories. Check back on 1st October.
FINAL HOURS! Submit short poetry collections for 2018 Chapbooks!
Our final project for 2018 will be the publication of a series of up to five chapbooks of new poetry.
These will be issued in a uniform edition and published in the last quarter of 2018.
Collections may include some previously published poems, but should emphasize new, unpublished work. We expect collections to be between 10 and 20 poems in length, but this is a guideline only. The chapbooks are expected to contain around 20 ~ 40 pages of text.
Collections should be emailed as an attachment as a single file in Word, PDF, or Open Document format. The file extensions allowed are .doc, .docx, .pdf, or .odt.

Send your submissions to chapbooks2018@icoe.com.au
by the 30th September 2018. The email address will be disabled after this date.
