We're so stoked to announce the launch of a Banango e-chapbook arm, Banango Editions. Banango Editions will allow us to extend our publishing efforts into longer-form collections of poetry and prose of the same outstanding caliber as the work found on Banango Street. 

Here’s the important part: we’re running a flash reading period for female-identified writers through Tuesday night 8/12, midnight CST. We welcome chapbook manuscripts of up to ~35 pages from women, queer, and non-binary writers. 

We’ve all got files sitting on our hard drive that we chip away & away at. Here’s your chance to set all that aside & just send it in. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Normal Banango Editions submissions will have a nominal fee attached, so here’s your chance to avoid that as well. 

We are especially interested in works that fit together narratively, thematically, or conceptually, not just collections of random poems. We want words that leap off the page and root around our insides, kicking up dirt. Work that creates a micro-atmosphere unto itself and tugs you into it. Show us your best.

Send in your manuscript through Submittable by midnight CST on Tuesday (that’s at the end of Tuesday because time is hard): https://banangostreet.submittable.com/submit

and *please* pass this announcement along to the many wonderful women writers in your circles!
