Call for Submissions-
Uttered Chaos is a literary press that publishes high quality poetry collections that combine a distinct voice with a distinct vision.
What am I looking for? A manuscript that makes me want to keep turning the pages. Traditional, experimental, or somewhere in between, I am searching for a compelling cohesive collection. I like poetry that pulls me into the conversation. To really grok what I am looking for I would suggest purchasing and reading one of our books.
I read everything. The project of reading takes time. Not hours or weeks, but months.
Paying a reading fee to an independent literary press is an important way to support the work of that press. I would not be able to stay in business without the income derived from reading fees. Beginning in December I will be charging a reading fee.
Uttered Chaos is dedicated to finding and promoting distinctive literary voices, and I appreciate your continued support of our efforts.

Your fee will appear from Deer Run Associates.
When selecting page length-only count the number of poem pages, do not include TOC, acknowledgments, title page or other front/back material in the manuscript count.
Reading fees too high? I get it, I'm a poet too. Send me an email and make your case to have me waive your reading fee.
