Please send as much poetry or prose as you like. Whole manuscripts are welcome. Send writings of which you are the sole author and that were not written earlier than 1999. Published and unpublished writings are equally welcome. To get a sense of our aesthetics, see our previous volumes. All work will be read first by the editors. Nick Flynn will be the final judge. Multiple entries in multiple genres are welcome. The deadline is January 10th, 2024. The winner will be declared here in late winter 2024. The winner will be published in Volume 13 of The Winter Anthology and receive a $1000 honorarium. Finalists will also be considered for publication.
