Four Way Books will consider poetry manuscripts for its Intro Prize in Poetry (for poets who have not published a book-length collection) from Janaury 1-March 31, 2010. The judge will be Alan Shapiro. Guidelines will be posted in December.

We will also read submissions in June 2010, including poetry collections, (regardless of your publication history), short story collections and novellas.Submissions sent to us in June are selected by our editorial board, not by an outside judge.

On occasion, we read outside of these time frames. However, it is important that you query us first before sending your work to us. If we can accomodate you, we will. Our ability to read outside of the contest and our June Reading Period depends upon our workflow at any given time.

Thank you for your interest in Four Way Books.
