Driftwood Press Fiction & Poetry Contests Judged by Kelly Link & Matthew Olzmann!
Incoming Deadline: July 15, 2025 (Adrift contests); Year-round (general submissions)
Driftwood Press’s Adrift Short Fiction & Poetry Chapbook Contests, in which every work submitted is considered for publication as winner or runner-up, is open! Our guest judges this year are Matthew Olzmann (poetry) & Kelly Link (fiction)! For our yearly print anthology, we are looking for poems, short stories, comics, and visual art that will wow our readers, accepted as both contest and normal submissions. We are a paying market, and our published writers also get to take part in bespoke interviews about their work! Driftwood is also on the hunt for amazing book-length titles to grow our catalogue. We encourage you to follow us on social media (@driftwoodpress) to learn about even more submission opportunities! driftwoodpress.submittable.com/submit
