The Poetry Business International Book & Pamphlet Competition 2024 is now OPEN
Deadline: Wed 6 Mar 2024
The Poetry Business International Book & Pamphlet Competition is a short collection competition run annually by The Poetry Business. Now in its fourth decade, this is the most prestigious competition of its kind, and has launched the careers of many well established and successful poets. This year's judge is Jane Clarke.
Entrants are invited to submit a collection of 20 pages of poetry. Two winners will be selected by the judge to be published by our award-winning imprint Smith|Doorstop Books. The two winners will also receive £500 each, publication in The North magazine, a reading at The Wordsworth Trust, and a place on a residential writing course.
Two runners-up will receive publication in East of The North – The Poetry Business’s online poetry publication – plus an online reading and an honorarium of £100 each.
The two winners will receive close editing and help in extending their entry up to 28 pages for pamphlet publication. There is also an opportunity for them submit a full-length manuscript, which, where the judges feel it is appropriate, may be published as a book in 2025.
Full-price entry is £29. Subscribers to The North, Friends of the Poetry Business, and members of the Poetry Society are eligible for the discounted fee of £27. All entrants will also receive a 10% code that can be used to purchase Poetry Book Society membership. A number of free entries are available.
