Submit to Quarto’s 2025 Chapbook Contest

Quarto Magazine's 2025 Chapbook Contest is officially open!

A chapbook is a small print edition that contains one author’s collection of creative work of any genre (or no genre at all!). Submit for the chance to see your writing illustrated in a print edition that will be distributed to the Columbia community, complete with a launch party and reading. The deadline to submit is Oct. 27 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Checklist to submit your Chapbook:

• Please send 10-15 pages of creative work to columbiaquarto@gmail.com with the subject line Chapbook Contest.

• Send your writing as a PDF to maintain formatting. If you’re submitting prose, double-spaced is preferred.

• We also would like you to provide a title for your chapbook.

• Please do NOT include your name in the PDF title or anywhere else on your PDF.

• Please include any relevant content warnings in the body of your email.

• This contest is only open to Columbia University and Barnard undergraduates, so please send us your UNI in the email as well.

If you have any questions, please email columbiaquarto@gmail.com. We can't wait to read your work!
