Publisher's Description: Clapboard House publishes the finest stories and poetry written by established and emerging writers, including undergraduates. Dorothy Allison, acclaimed author of BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA, recently judged our undergraduate short story contest. Included in Steve Almond’s 2008 BEST OF THE WEB, Clapboard House plans a best of the house print anthology for 2010. Whether we are considering the work of an award-winning, much published writer or the first submission of a fledgling writer, our expectation and only requirement of both is excellence.
Recent issues:
The new issue [10, Fall 2011] of Clapboard House is now published, with the winner and other nine finalists of the Best of the House Short Story Contest judged for us by Gerald Duff. We are very grateful to him. We have published more poets than usual this issue, which speaks to the quality of the poems we could not decline.
