Chapbook Publishers

chapbook publishers

Welcome to our growing list of Chapbook Publishers. Chapbooks are an outstanding way for poetry and short story writers to get their work out there. Chapbooks have been helping fledgling authors get started for many years. Chapbooks are generally simply half size collections. If you are looking to get started in publishing, chapbook publishers may be what you are looking for.

We are always working on our listings. It is not an easy task to update over 5000 listings, but we are working on it every day. All of these listings were submitted by the publishers.

If you see a Chapbook Publisher that needs to be updated, please leave a comment. We review and publish comments at a later date, but we do read them!

Remember, in the long run we are all a community. If you are submitting your work, please consider buying a chapbook from one of these publishers. Support these publishers!
