All chapbook manuscripts should be sent as a MS Word file and contain no more than 18 pages. No simultaneous submissions or previously published manuscripts/chapbooks, however, a manuscript may contain poems within it that have been published in print or online lit mags. Due to the large amount of submissions we receive, a response in regards to submissions could take up to four months. We do not accept submissions through postal mail. Send submissions to maverickduckpress@yahoo.com

We offer a payment of twenty chapbooks to poets chosen for publication. We also offer a 50% discount if the author chooses to purchase additional copies. This discount stands for as long as the title remains in publication at MDP.

Micro-chapbook submissions should not exceed a total of ten poems. The above guidelines apply to micro-chaps, as well. Published micro-chapbooks become a free download in our catalog.
