Test Site Poetry Series 2025
Ends on
The Test Site Poetry Series is open to all writers who are seeking to place an unpublished manuscript. All submissions must be at least 48 pages. We will consider “New & Selected” or “Collected” manuscripts including work from previously published books. If poems in the manuscript have been previously published, enclose an acknowledgments page.
Interim: A Journal of Poetry and Poetics run the annual Test Site Poetry Series contest. Each year, two books are chosen by the series board, one which is the winner of The Test Site Poetry Series and the other which receives The Betsy Joiner Flanagan Award in Poetry. The authors of the winning books will both receive $1,000 and the books will be published by the University of Nevada Press. The reading fee is $25 for each manuscript submitted. Please submit your manuscript with two title pages. One title page should include your name and contact information. The other title page should include only the title of your book. Your name and contact information must not be included anywhere else in the manuscript or it will be disqualified. This is done to ensure the transparency of the selection process. In the event that one or more of the board members recognize a manuscript as one from a student, friend, lover, etc. they will recuse themselves from casting a vote for that manuscript. The winning book will be announced in February and published by the University of Nevada Press in the Fall of 2025.
