The Big Dithering Chaps September Cut-Off
Closing date: Tues 30 Sept 2025
Dithering Chaps is now open for submissions for their pamphlet competition.
Entrants are encouraged to submit a ten-page sample of poems alongside a 200-word treatment explaining the vision behind their collection manuscript (roughly 30-60 pages in total). The shortlist will be announced by mid-October, and the winning poet will be chosen by the end of that month.
Poets who have not had a previous poetry collection published will also automatically be considered for a separate publication slot in Summer 2026.
Judges: David Herring and Gena Herring
