We’re so excited to announce the books we’ll be publishing in 2021 and 2022: the Bound Together series, in which each book will pair manuscripts by two different authors. We can’t wait to make these six thrilling books. Thank you to everyone who submitted to this reading period—it was a balm to read your writing this past spring and summer.

DoubleCross Press is pleased to announce that we will be reading poetry chapbook manuscripts for all of October, 2017. Manuscripts should be anywhere between 8-26 pages in length. There are no restrictions on style or content though it may be useful for you to be familiar with work we have published in the past. We do not charge a fee for submissions but ask that you buy a chapbook from us or from another small press that you admire as a way of supporting the work small press publishers do. Please pass this message on to anyone who you think might be interested.
