Submissions

Sorry, we will not be considering unsolicited pamphlet or book collections again. This press is winding down. 

Paid Reading Service

Helena Nelson sometimes offers a paid reading/editing service to poets. This is not a route into HappenStance publication. If interested, enquire via the contact box.

Yes, the infamous contact box hasn't been working lately so you may have already done this and not had a reply. How very frustrating. Sorry! Try again. It is working again now. Or try an email address consisting of @happenstancepress.com and precede this with four letters: nell.

Alternatively, get hold of a copy of How (Not) to Get Your Poetry Published, which could save you a lot of pain, at the same time as sharing many of the unwritten rules of the whole exquisitely frustrating (and yet delightful) business.
