2023 chapbook competition now open!

The Iron Horse Literary Review 2023 chapbook competition is now open! This year we are accepting poetry submissions until March 15, 2023. Manuscripts should be 28-36 pages in length, with each poem starting on a new page; beyond that, what you send us is entirely up to you. Our winner will receive $1,000 along with 15 copies of their chapbook.

If you would like to submit your manuscript, please visit out chapbook page here for more information. You can also see a list of our past winners, and if you'd like, order a copy of any chapbook here. We alternate between poetry and prose with our chapbook competition, so fiction and nonfiction writers, we look forward to seeing your work next year.

Good luck! We hope to read your poetry soon!
