An entry fee of $10 must accompany each entry, and all entrants who provide a mailing address will receive a copy of the issue in which the contest winners appear. We welcome multiple submissions. Each submission requires a separate entry fee.

Queries: Reviews, Interviews, Etc.

Yemassee is always seeking well-written reviews of well-written books. The review should engage a new book by way of content as well as style and poetics. If you're interested in reviewing a book, please send us a query detailing the book you mean to review and the angle you mean to take. Please indicate if you'd be interested in acceptance of your review for online publication.

Occasionally, we do publish interviews with well-known writers. The majority of our interviews are conducted by our editorial staff; however, if you have something you think might interest us, feel free to send us a query. Please indicate if you'd be interested in acceptance of your interview for online publication.
