Contests

Brooklyn Arts Press does not offer contests. We only publish what we admire, and sometimes contests force publishers to publish work of questionable quality, and we'd rather not find ourselves in that position. We'd rather put what little money we make from selling our books toward producing awesome new books, without compromise.
