Call for manuscripts: the A.V. Christie Series

Seven Kitchens Press is proud to sponsor the annual A.V. Christie Chapbook Series for an original, unpublished poetry manuscript by a woman writer over the age of 50. This series honors the vision of poet & teacher A.V. Christie and was launched in 2022 thanks to the generous donations of A.V.’s friends and colleagues. We are especially proud to offer this series in her memory as part of our long-term commitment to publish women and other traditionally underrepresented voices, with the goal of making them a significant majority of our catalog.

Manuscripts are considered annually during the month of February. Full guidelines may be found here.

We will reopen the reading window for this series in February.

Pushcart nominations

It’s always an embarrassment of riches when nom-time comes around. Above are this year’s Pushcart nominations. We appreciate all our poets, and wish the folks above a little extra luck.

Manuscripts selected: A.V. Christie Series

Thank you to all the poets who sent work for the A.V. Christie Series. We have selected two manuscripts: Night Swimmers by Jody Winer of Sag Harbor, NY; and What the Hollow Held by Rebekah Wolman of San Francisco, CA. Each chapbook will be published in an edition of 100 hand-tied copies. Please join us in welcoming these poets to the Seven Kitchens family! We hope you will support their work.

We are thrilled to officially welcome Sandy Yannone as our Series Editor. The author of two poetry collections, Boats for Women and The Glass Studio (both from Salmon Poetry), Sandy is also co-founder and host of Cultivating Voices LIVE Poetry, an international, intersectional, intergenerational poetry group and reading series.
