Wanting postage to be accurate, please use the contact form to order. Make sure to include your shipping address.
Submissions for season two of the PUNK CHAPBOOK subscription series will open soon. If you have 12 pages of material that sings, I want to see it. It can be a series of poems, aphorisms, a short story, or cartoons. Your submission should be intricately connected, unified under a main theme. A great chapbook is hard thing to get right, but when it happens, it's pure magic!
The only catch is that if you want me to consider your work for publication, you must be a paid PUNK CHAPBOOK subscriber. The only way for you to understand the series is to read the series, and if you can't support the series, I don't see why the series should support you.
