Please do NOT include identifying information anywhere in the manuscript, as all readings will be blind. Submit Word docs, RTF or Open Office files, no pdfs.

Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, but only one submission per author per category. Please notify Wordrunner eChapbooks if your work is accepted elsewhere. We prefer that you withdraw the submission from your Submittable account

We are no longer publishing an annual anthology, nor are we open to submissions for anything but micro-prose. 

Wordrunner eChapbooks is an online publication. Beginning in 2026, our issues will consist of excerpts from longer works by one author, published as trade paperbacks and Kindles by Wordrunner Press. These publications for now are by invitation only. We may accept queries in the future. Stay tuned!

Authors (with the exception of micro-prose) receive payment: $125 for each prose or poetry collection plus 50% of royalties.
