Three Ways to Get Closer to the Work
A few things happening at Ink & Ribbon Press this month, and we wanted you to hear them straight from us.
We’re looking for editorial contributors
We’re building out our editorial bench, people who want to write essays on craft or review poems for the Learn section of the site. If you’ve got a strong point of view on how a poem works, or you love sitting with a new collection long enough to say something useful about it, we want to hear from you.
To be clear, this is not a call for poetry submissions. That’s a separate thing, and it’s below.
If you’re interested in writing for us, the details are here and please reply to this note https://inkandribbon.org/editorial-team
Volunteers needed for AWP Chicago 2027
We’ll be at AWP in Chicago this coming March with a booth, and we’re launching two titles while we’re there. We need a few hands on deck: people willing to work the booth for a shift or two, help with load in, and possibly lend a hand at an offsite event.
This is volunteer work, unpaid, but it’s a good way to be part of the press at one of the biggest gatherings in the country for people who care about this stuff. If that’s you and you’re already planning to be in Chicago, reply to this email or write to us directly and we’ll get you sorted.
Reading period is open
We are officially open for submissions again and looking for two to three more manuscripts to round out our 2027 list. If you’ve got a full-length collection that’s been waiting for the right home, or you know someone who does, now’s the time.
Submission guidelines are here: https://inkandribbon.org/submissions
And one more thing
The website has a new look. Go poke around, tell us what you think.
As ever, thank you for reading, and for being part of this with us.
