✨Thank you to everyone who submitted a manuscript to the Split Rock Press Poetry Chapbook Series!✨

We received many outstanding collections this year, and the strength of the submissions has made the selection process quite difficult—which, from our perspective, is a good problem to have. 😀

Because submitter identities are concealed throughout the review process, we ask for your patience as we complete this final stage. If you have not yet heard from us, please know that your manuscript is still under consideration. We ask that you give us just a couple more weeks while we make our final decisions.

Thank you again for your support of Split Rock Press and for trusting us with your work. We are so grateful for the opportunity to read such terrific poetry. ☺️❤️
