Here is the latest news from the estimable editor of Lopside Press, the über-cool publisher of chapbooks - as I, a grateful beneficiary, can testify.

Visit the website, a thing of beauty, and fall in love.

Give your chap a chance. Lopside Press will be choosing as few as one or as many as four submitted chapbooks for publishing. It depends on how many push themselves boldly forward and refuse to be put down.

Donald Zirilli (of Black Yak, Now Culture, & Shit Creek Review) will be blind judging the final 'round' of entrants after a light first round weeding by the publisher.

Winners will be published with custom cover art, get ten copies of their chapbook, and an excerpt will be featured in the Lopsided Fruit gallery.

The books will be available for purchase through lopsidepress.com and royalties will be paid in the form of free copies of your book, one for every three sold. In addition, winners will get a 25% discount off all Lopside Press purchases.
