Southern Hum Press
2007 Women of Words Award and Poetry Chapbook Contest
- Contests

Southern Hum Press is seeking to publish the award-winning poetry chapbook that exemplifies the very best writing by a woman writer. We are seeking strong voices and expressions of today’s women writers who approach writing with vision, passion, fresh language and a meticulous attention to craft. Entries can be representative of all types of writing styles whether traditional or experimental. Entries for this contest need not be Southern-themed.

• Entries should be no longer than 26 pages in length.
• Simultaneous submissions are allowed as long as we are notified immediately if manuscript is accepted elsewhere.
• The award winner will receive a prize of $250 and 25 copies of the chapbook.

(Additional copies can be purchased by the author for a 50% discount.) The chapbook will also be available for purchase on the Southern Hum Press website.

We prefer emailed submissions. Send the manuscript as a Microsoft Word document attachment in an email which includes a brief cover letter containing contact information in the body of the email. Please put “2007 Women of Words” in the subject line. All electronic entries for this contest should be sent to: southernhum@gmail.com


Entries must be received by July 15. However, the sooner we receive your manuscript, the better. That means we have more time to spend with it and will not feel rushed when making our decision

If a manuscript must be sent by postal mail it can be mailed to:
Southern Hum Press
210 S. Demanade Blvd.
Lafayette, LA 70503


Manuscripts must be accompanied by a $10.00 entry fee payable on the site through PayPal. If the manuscript is sent through postal mail, send a check or money order for $10.00 payable to Southern Hum Press.
