- Toad Press publishes 1-3 chapbooks each year.
- Chapbooks accepted for publication will appear the following Summer/Fall.
- Payment is in copies only.
- Reading fees range from $0-$14 -- please make the fee selection that's right for you! Reading fees help us to cover the costs associated with running a small press, and we appreciate support from those able to contribute. Submitters who select the $12 or $14 "submit + choose a book" will receive one of our available backlist titles in the mail.
- Simultaneous submissions are encouraged, but please do us the courtesy of withdrawing your manuscript immediately if it is accepted elsewhere.
- Did you remember that we only publish translations? Great!
