• Simultaneous submissions of the same manuscript to other publishers or contests are acceptable but please notify Hub City Press by email ([email protected]) if your manuscript has been accepted elsewhere.
• While translations and manuscripts in languages other than English are not acceptable, manuscripts that occasionally use words from other languages are perfectly fine.
• No revisions of submitted manuscripts will be allowed during the contest.
