Launched last year, the Subbed In Chapbook Prize aims to support emerging writers (including those who have not previously published a book) who are working in the forms of poetry, microfiction\/nonfiction or \u2018a blend of these mediums\u2019.\u2018We hope to uncover and encourage voices not often heard and told in ways that push the traditional boundaries of form,\u2019 Subbed In director Dan Hogan told\u00a0Books+Publishing<\/em>. \u2018Last year we were able to publish\u00a0three books<\/a>, while this year we are looking to publish one manuscript\u2019.Of the prize\u2019s focus on microfiction\/nonfiction, alongside poetry, this year, Hogan told\u00a0Books+Publishing<\/em>: \u2018We love reading collections of microfiction\/nonfiction. We view the form largely as writing for workers; most often workers don\u2019t have the time or space to tell their story via writing a novel or three. We\u2019d like to see more works of micro-writing published in Australia as we believe the medium provides space for people who may not consider themselves \u201cwriters\u201d to tell their story.\u2019<\/p>\n The prize is currently open for submissions until 1 July.
