Collections and chapbooks with a pulse — formal, free, fearless. Brickhouse has published poets for fifty-five years and is always hungry for more.

We read year-round and publish 2–4 works annually, reserving a few manuscripts for development. If your work is accepted, you will receive an advance of $200–$500 along with standard royalties. Work is typically published 3–6 months after we receive the final manuscript.

A $20 reading fee applies. Reading fees don't buy publication; they ensure that every submission is read with care. Fee waivers are available — no questions, no stigma — via the contact form at brickhousebooks.com/contact.

What to include: your full manuscript as a single PDF or DOCX, plus a brief cover letter and bio.
