Submissions

John Mann has won The National Poetry Review Book Prize for 2011.

We will also publish the books of two runners-up, Michael Tyrell and Elizabeth Hughey.

Submit 45-80 pages of poetry with a $25 reading fee, a cover letter with your bio and your manuscript's acknowledgments, and your email address for results (no SASEs please; manuscripts will be recycled. Check website for winners.)  Please do not bind, fasten, or clip your manuscript in any way.

Postmark Deadline:  June 30, 2012.  

We strongly prefer electronic submissions. please follow these directions EXACTLY:

1) Go to https://www.PayPal.com; select SEND MONEY; select PERSONAL; select OTHER; then type in the amount of  $25 to send to editor@nationalpoetryreview.com

Note: If you prefer to use the PayPal button, you may, but PayPal will take a fee for itself, so you will be paying $26.03 instead of $25.

2) Then, to email your entry, put your name in the subject line, include a copy of your PayPal paid receipt, and send to editor@nationalpoetryreview.com.

The winner of The National Poetry Review Book Prize will receive $1000 plus publication and 15 copies of the book. All entrants will be considered for publication.
