Submit a full-length poetry manuscript to the Hilary Tham Capital Collection
Nominations: April 30. Submission deadline for poets: May 15.
A message from Series Editor Brad Richard:
As editor of the Hilary Tham Capital Collection (HTCC), it is my honor to invite you to nominate outstanding poets to submit a full-length poetry collection to this competition, open only to poets who have volunteered for a literary cause or organization.
Or, if you are poet-volunteer, ask your organization to nominate you! You can learn more, including details about submitting a manuscript, here.
The HTCC is an imprint of The Word Works, an independent poetry press now celebrating its 50th year of bringing vital new voices to the world. Once nominated by the organization whose mission their labor has helped to advance, poets are invited to submit their work.
Submissions are read by a diverse team of readers, and the final selection is made by an external judge who is not affiliated with the press. This year’s judge is Ariel Francisco Henriquez Cos. Recent winners include Tara Betts (whose collection Refuse to Disappear was an SPD bestseller for ten months in a row!), Jennifer Bartell Boykin (SC), Nikia Chaney (CA), Ed Madden (SC), Kevin McLellan (MA), and Michelle Nicholson (LA).
