Publishing focus
Eggtooth Editions holds an annual chapbook contest for any genre of writing, including poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, plays, and hybrid/cross-genre/multi-genre work. The editors are open to submissions from anyone who has not published (or self-published) a full-length collection, defined as a work of over fifty pages. The press is affiliated with Northern Arizona Book Festival, a nonprofit; all proceeds help to run the press or go to the book festival and its affiliates.

Megan Heise, Ted McLoof, M.S. Coe, Tacey M. Atsitty, Les Hunter, Jared Harel
Calls & opportunities
3 listedManuscript submissions
Artists and writers should familiarize themselves with Eggtooth's output before submitting. They prioritize work that is experimental, interdisciplinary, and aligns with their DIY and collaborative ethos. Submissions are typically open for specific projects or anthologies, so check their website and social media for current calls. Include a concise artist statement or project description, relevant work samples, and a clear indication of how your work fits their mission. Response times can vary, so patience is advised. They value thoughtful, well-crafted proposals over generic inquiries.
Please follow the submission guidelines and revise your work; one tip is to think about how the chapbook works as a collection. We don’t need a tight thematic focus or formal unity necessarily, but the book as a whole should hang together in a way that is more than the sum of its parts. Works such as one-act plays, long poems, or novellas are also welcomed so long as they don’t exceed fifty total pages. This year’s contest will award $250 to the winner of the annual chapbook contest. Please see complete rules at the website.
