Hello Friends,

Flying Guillotine Press wants to read your poetry.

We are reading submissions that make it to us in April for our upcoming book.
Please send a manuscript of 32 pages or less to this email address.

And feel free to forward this on to poet types and post it on your blog or on listserves or what have you.

If you haven't heard of us, Flying Guillotine was founded by Tony Mancus and Sommer Browning in 2008. We make small editions of handmade poetry chapbooks.

We've published four books so far by Melissa Koosmann, Michael Rerick, Brett Price & Ana Božičević.
