Submissions are NOW OPEN from June 1 to 30, 2025, for chapbooks to be published in 2026.
Yellow Arrow Publishing is looking for submissions of poetry, creative nonfiction, and hybrid (i.e., a mix of poetry and creative nonfiction) chapbooks by authors who identify as women from around the world.
Please note that as a small press we produce a limited number of publications each year. We pour our hearts and souls into each submission and each Yellow Arrow publication and thank everyone for their interest and inquiries. We only accept digital submissions. At this time, we would prefer assisting those without agents.
Manuscripts pass through a two-stage reading process involving the readers and editors of Yellow Arrow, who will select the chapbooks we would like to publish in the following year. Though first-round submissions are reviewed anonymously, we do ask for your background and bio.
