Collusion welcomes sequences of collaborative poetry—as well as cross-art collaborations with poetic elements—for digital publication in the occasional anthology series 2×4.
Each submission (6 to 10 poems and/or artworks) must be a unified collaborative project. While individual poems/artworks may be created solo, the project as a whole must be conceived and composed by two actively & equally collaborating artists. This shared
Publication is digital, with 2×4 editions offered on a pay-what-you-want basis. All reader donations toward an edition of 2×4 are split among that edition’s contributors, and all contributors & donors receive an exclusive ebook adaptation of the digital chapbook.
Submit via the form below by AUGUST 31 to be considered for publication in 2×4^3 (fall, 2021). Submissions received by this date will also be considered for publication in 2×4^4 (spring, 2022).
When open to submissions, we accept chapbook-length manuscripts of collaborative poetry and cross-art collaborations with poetic elements for print publication. Conceptual, formal, & speculative works are particularly welcome.
Collusion is a design-forward press, and we love collaborating with our authors and artists on the editing process and on exploring design options that compliment or enhance the work. Only in rare circumstances do we print chapbooks that have been pre-designed by the authors / artists, so if your chapbook is already print-ready as a PDF, please justify your design decisions in the “collaborative process” field.
Each manuscript (approximately 24 to 48 pages) must be a unified collaborative project. While individual poems or components of the project may be created solo, the manuscript as a whole should be conceived and composed by 2 or more actively & equally contributing authors. At least one collaborator must currently reside in Canada (regardless of citizenship status).
Publication is 75 to 100 print copies.
Compensation is 20 print copies (free shipping) divided evenly among collaborators. Each collaborator has unlimited access to more print copies at printing cost + shipping.
