How to submit
Please send your poetry, fiction, non-fiction, or one-act plays as a PDF to brokepress@gmail.com & include a bit about yourself in your email!
Submission fee is required.
Submission fee is a sliding scale of $10-$25. Please send what you can afford. broke press is a one-woman operation with no government funding, so the submission fee helps keep the lights on! Send your submission fee as an e-transfer to brokepress@gmail.com
Please include your mailing address in the body of your email if you would like a broke press chapbook from the catalogue as a ‘thank you’ for submitting your work!
I aim to reply with the status of your submission by mid-March, but it may take me a bit longer!
If your manuscript is accepted, a $100 honorarium and 20% of the print run will be granted upon publication.
