Steel Toe Books is reading full-length poetry manuscripts [see website for reading period]. This is open to any poets, whether or not they have previously published books. We plan to extend a standard royalties contract, including a $500 advance, to at least one poet. This is not a contest and there is no reading fee, but we do ask everyone who submits to purchase one of our existing titles directly from us. Send your 48-80 page manuscript, along with a check and completed order form (available via the “Order” button on the left), to Steel Toe Books. Do not include a SASE. All manuscripts will be recycled, and our selections will be posted on this web site.
