All contestants receive a copy of the winning chapbook
$20 Reading/Contest Fee



 
An editorial board plus three anonymous judges to be announced after the contest 
will conduct the judging of blind submissions. We accept simultaneous submissions 
and will consider publishing several manuscripts
as well as individual pieces in upcoming issues of The Teacher's Voice.
Past and present TTV staff is ineligible.

Guidelines: We will publish literary nonfiction, short stories, and poems that reflect aspects of the American educational or teaching experience. All styles and aesthetics are welcome. Please submit 16-24 pages (no more than 16 for prose or prose poetry) of any combination of poetry, short story, or creative nonfiction along with a $20 check or money order reading fee. Your name should appear on a separate title page along with your manuscript title, listing of contents, address, telephone, and email. Include an acknowledgements' page for any previously published work. No more than 50% of the manuscript may be previously published. Authors must own all rights to their work. Selected finalists will be asked to send their manuscripts as a word file. Pre-publication proofs and cover art are mailed for approval. Authors retain all rights to their work after publication. We retain the right to print up to 1000 copies; after this, a standard 10% of press run contract will be offered.   

 

Please send your manuscript postmarked no later than February 11

along with SASE for notification of contest results. Manuscripts are
not returned. We shred and recycle all work not used and do not
take responsibility for any manuscript that is not returned.
Do not send your only copy!
