The Call for Submissions for Quartet 2022 is now open through April 30, 2021.
With apologies, due to COVID-19, we will not be accepting hard copy manuscripts this year. Please follow these guidelines for submission:
- Submissions must be emailed to quartet@frontenachouse.com. Do not send your submission to any other address, as we are following a “blind” selection process, and manuscripts will be cleaned of identifying information before being presented to the readers.
- Include the complete manuscript in machine-readable format (MS Word preferred). We do not accept synopses.
- Include a CV or Resumé and cover letter, separate from the manuscript.
- Include a marketing plan. While we do promote our authors through awards entries, distribution of review copies, launch events, and other traditional efforts, we have learned that authors who have a clear plan for promoting themselves within their region are much more successful than those who don’t. We’ll work with you, but we need your help.
- If you know how to combine your files into one ZIP archive, we encourage you to do so.
We endeavour to send notification that we have received and are processing manuscripts, but in the event that you don’t receive a notification email please email us again to prompt us.
Tell the Birds Your Body is Not a Gun
By Rayanne Haines, launching in April
Tell the Birds Your Body is not a Gun, is a book of minimalist poetry, prose poems and poetic essays exploring family grief, healing, and trauma through the female lens. Tell the Birds Your Body is not a Gun is a visceral narrative that questions our relationship with religion and challenges how we reflect on our own memories of trauma. As readers look to the past in the manuscript, they are asked to examine how each of them would experience and react to grief and abuse.
Lisa Richter has won the National Jewish Book Awards Berru Award in Memory of Ruth and Bernie Weinflash
To quote editor Micheline Maylor, Nautilus & Bone (Quartet 2020), “… is an outstanding book, the writing is stunning and a true poets’ book for its ability in both form and narrative, and that is, although admittedly biased, absolutely accurate.”
