Chapbook Ordering Guidelines

To begin the process of publishing your chapbook, fill out this form and click on the SUBMIT button at bottom of the form. You will also need to submit your work, either on disk via regular mail or by attaching a file or files to an email addressed to chapbooks@wordrunner.com.* Alternately, you can paste text directly into the email.

Cost estimates will be approximate, since any options you select now may change (e.g., type of paper). No payment is due until a draft is approved for printing, and then half the total amount is due; the remainder upon receipt of books. Payments can be made by money order, check or credit card via Pay Pal.
