It is a pleasure to invite you to send full-length manuscripts for our 2026 open-reading period and prizes, now through November 30!

The Wishing Jewel Prize honors an innovative manuscript that challenges expectations of genre, form, or mode while engaging the rich possibilities of lyrical expression. Named for an essay in Anne Carson's Plainwater, we look forward to work that questions the boundaries of what poems and books can be. The winner receives $1000, publication, and distribution. This is also our open-reading period, so all submissions are considered for publication and need not match the aesthetic aims of the Wishing Jewel Prize. See guidelines and submit here: https://greenlindenpress.submittable.com/submit

The Stephen Mitchell Prize for excellence in translation awards $1000, publication, and distribution for a manuscript that exemplifies the work of Stephen Mitchell, who has impeccably written and translated over twenty books. Submissions may be in any literary genre. All finalists are considered for publication. Titles in the Series have won a National Translation Award, been a finalist for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, made the shortlist for the Derek Walcott prize, and received a grant from the Goethe-Institut. See guidelines and submit here: https://greenlindenpress.submittable.com/submit
