Poetry and Fiction
Four Way Books publishes full-length collections only. We do not read individual poems or partial collections. We do not publish chapbooks. There are two ways to submit your poetry to the press. We hold two biennial contests and we also have an open reading period in June. . The Intro Prize, held in even years is open to all U.S. poets who have not yet published a full-length poetry collection. The Levis Prize, held in odd years, is open to all U.S. poets, regardless of publication history. The 2008 Intro Prize ran from January 1-March 31, 2008. The judge is Brigit Pegeen Kelly.
Poets and fiction writers may also submit through our open reading period in June. See June Guidelines.
