Call For Submissions

Purple Inl’s Cat’s Eye Fiction Chapbook Contest: This is a fiction Chapbook Contest open to everyone. We are accepting works between 16 and 35 pages. You can submit several shorter pieces (stories or flash fiction) or one longer work. Hybrid pieces are welcome. All manuscripts are considered for publication. Share what you’ve got!

This selection will be the first of the Cat’s Eye Fiction series, named in honor of Marget Atwood’s incredible novel, Cat’s Eye.

The contest will be judged by the editors at Purple Ink. Depending on the judges’ selection, there might be multiple winners. The prize is $500, publication, plus twenty copies of the chapbook. If there is more than one winner, the monetary reward will be increased and distributed among the winners.

We publish visually stunning books that people can’t help picking up. Each chapbook receives an ISBN and is sold worldwide by local independent booksellers and in larger markets like Barnes & Noble. We create a promotion/publicity plan for each author.

We encourage both new, emerging, and established writers to submit!
