Wet Cement Press is pleased to announce its first annual New Constructions Hybrid Book Contest.
“New Constructions” seeks to expand the language and spirit of hybrid forms. We are interested in work that expands the forms of poetry, fiction or essays, works that move across times, languages, histories. While hybrids of written and visual work are welcome, we are also looking for work that finds new strains to “hybridize”. Juxtapose. Interpolate. Think unusual bedfellows. We love works that collide or collaborate. The editors of Wet Cement Press will choose the winning manuscript.
The winner will receive a standard publishing contract and publication with WCP in the Spring of 2026. There is no cash reward.
We are looking for meaningful hybrid works of approximately 75-150 pages.
