Submissions

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the notice in Poets & Writers, but the Marie Alexander Series is currently not taking unsolicited manuscripts.

In 2012, we will host an open submission period during the month of July. An award of $500 and publication will be given for a chosen collection of prose poems or flash fiction by an American writer.

Submit a manuscript of at least 48 pages, which can include some lineated pieces, along with a cover letter with complete contact information and an SASE for notification only.

Postmark must be between July 1 and 31; the mailing address will be posted in early 2012.

Entries should also include a simultaneous electronic submission of the manuscript (MS Word or PDF format) sent to editor@mariealexanderseries.com. There is no entry fee.
