The Collagist is proud to announce that [Spoiler Alert] by Laura Eve Engel and Adam Peterson has been selected as the winner of our 2011 Chapbook Contest. [Spoiler Alert] will be published in print and eBook forms later this year, as the first release of the The Collagist Chapbook Series.
We received several hundred submissions, and I found many of them to be filled with promise and worthy of further recognition and readership. I sincerely wish every entrant the best of luck in placing their manuscript with another publisher: I'll be keeping watch, hoping for it to happen soon, so that other readers can experience the same reading pleasures I had this past month. Thank you again to everyone who entered, and congratulations to Laura Eve and Adam, and to all our finalists listed below.
