North Dakota State University Press [1]
Please send your work as a Word document, uploaded to our Submittable portal. Your submission should consist of two documents: your cover letter and your mansucript. Please remove your name from your manuscript. Your cover letter should briefly describe your work, contain a paragraph about what inspired you to write this work, and describe who you see as your potential audience. We conduct in-house reviews; manuscripts passing this first stage are sent out for double-blind peer review. We host an annual chapbook competition, Poetry of the Plains & Prairies (POPP) Award, taking submissions Jan. 17 to March 17. No fees.
