SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

 We would like to thank you for your interest in the Bluestem Press poetry competition. Regrettably, Bluestem Press is announcing the conclusion of its annual book contest. Over the past sixteen years, Bluestem has had the privilege of publishing the works of many new and emerging writers. We have especially treasured the opportunity to publish several authors’ first books. Our final two books will be Out of Body by Matthew J. Spireng and Baptist Confidential by Thomas Dukes. Existing titles will remain available through the press at:
