2010 Bull City Press Poetry Prize – now accepting manuscripts

We’re pleased to announce that submissions for the first Bull City Press Poetry Prize are now open.  The 2010 Bull City Press First Book Prize honors a book of individual poetry in English by a single author; translations and collaborative works are not eligible for this award.  The winning poet will receive 50 copies of the published book.

Entries must be submitted between April 1, 2010 and August 1, 2010.  All entries must be submitted to our online submissions manager.  Entries submitted by e-mail, fax, or US mail are not permitted and will be disqualified.  Entries must be accompanied by a $20 entry fee, payable through PayPal.  Entrants may submit multiple manuscripts, but must pay a $20 entry fee for each manuscript submitted.  Manuscripts should be 48 to 100 pages of poetry, consecutively numbered, single-spaced, and should include a table of contents.

Complete contest details and submission information are available at:

Inch achieves rare status on Duotrope’s Digest

Duotrope’s Digest, a web site that lists literary magazines and their submissions guidelines, is one of our favorite web sites at Bull City Press.  We often like to browse the new magazines, reading the online journals and purchasing sample copies of some of the newer magazines in print.  Duotrope has also been invaluable in spreading the word about Inch, our tiny magazine for tiny poems and short, short fiction.

We’re pleased to note that while Inch has been listed as one of the 25 Most Challenging Markets for Poetry for some time now, we entered another top 25 list this week– Top 25 Swiftest Markets for Poetry.  We pride ourselves on publishing the best of the best when it comes to short poems and microfiction, but we also work hard to make sure that we remain responsive and accessible to contributors and potential contributors alike.  Thanks to all Duotrope users who reported responses from Inch!

Coming soon!

Bull City Press is blogging!  Well, we will be soon. Beginning in late August 2008, we’ll be featuring new content each week– author interviews, updates and news from Inch contributors, and announcements about new projects.

Is it completely lame to have a link to your blog from your web site, but no actual content in the blog?  Sure it is!  But we’re also in the process of launching our updated web site, complete with brand-spanking-new technology from 2003!
