2017 Chapbook Contest: Week 1 Review
Weekly Reviews Resume
Hi everyone! Last year I tried to write a little blog post each week on the Nostrovia! Tavern, providing an inside look at the contest as we read, judge, edit, and design the chapbooks these next few months. People really seemed to like these, so I’m trying to have a new Tavern post each Wednesday--stay tuned for more updates!

Friends! We’d like to extend a tremendous thank you to everyone who submitted their work to our third yearly chapbook contest!! Though we were blown away last year to see 102 submissions in our inbox, this year’s contest brought 127 MSS--we are very thankful for your support and participation!
Jeremiah and I had wanted to play around with the timeline for the contest, as people were starting to get used to our March call ;) So we pushed everything back a month, here to April! Just as Friday evening reached midnight, we updated the website and posted the initial news. By the end of Saturday, we had 52 submissions. The following day we received the remaining 75! And as of Monday, every chapbook has been loaded into our managing page, ready for Jeremiah and me to start reading, rereading, and commenting.
Much love, and see you next week! <3 -Christopher
