Tram Editions is a publisher of chapbooks of poetry and hybrid forms. We view the chapbook as a complete work unto itself—not a fragment of something larger, but an artistic offering in its own right. We encourage authors to consider the power of a discrete project—the chapbook as a distinct articulation. We are invested in work that speaks from a variety of voices, and strongly encourage submissions from women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC authors. Tram Editions also recognizes the predatory nature of many submission fees, and we pledge to remain free of submission fees.
