Chapbook

AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLISH A COLLECTION OF YOUR WORK.

What is a Chapbook?

A chapbook is typically a collection of poetry that is 48 pages or less. We’ve decided to redefine what a chapbook means at The Soap Box Press. We are now accepting a collection of absolutely anything. Send us your best work, no matter the medium. We’re happy to accept collections of short stories, poetry, art, photography, comics or anything else you can think of. The only catch is that the manuscript must be 30 pages or less and must be previously unpublished.

What's in it for you?

Your manuscript will be published as an ebook and possibly printed later on.

Advertisement, distribution, and promotion through The Soap Box website and social media profiles.

Royalties. We love our writers and believe you should be compensated for your work.

What can I submit?

A manuscript of unpublished poetry. That means it can not have appeared in any other print or digital publication. (Personal blogs and social media profiles are fine.)
30 pages or less, one poem per page.
12pt Times New Roman or Calibri font. 
If your submission fails to meet these guidelines, it will be automatically eliminated.
You can submit as many times as you'd like, but please note that each submission requires a $10.00* payment.

*All the work that we do is largely a labour of love. The submission fee helps The Soap Box continue doing the work that we do, supports our ongoing projects, and helps offset production costs. We don’t want the submission fee to pose a barrier for our writers. Please reach out to us directly at contact@thesoapboxwrites.com if the submission fee is an issue.

Anyone can submit! Multiple authors are also welcome, as long as the poems have not been previously published.

Every poem should be single spaced and use a 12 pt Times New Roman or Calibri font. Please make sure your submission file is both .doc and .pdf

Make your payment through PayPal here.
Once your submission and payment are received, you will be notified through email. 

You will receive an email regarding the status of your manuscript - whether it has or hasn’t been accepted - approximately 1-2 months after the call for submissions has closed.

We receive a high volume of submissions and take great care to give each manuscript careful consideration. We ask that you be patient with us and know that you will hear back as soon as we’ve had a chance to go through all of the submissions we’ve received.
