* 2024 Perugia Press Prize Opens on August 1 *

Publication of the winning manuscript comes with
$2,000*, author copies, and other support from the press.


We're pleased to continue a fee structure for our contest that 
gives poets options on how they submit their work and makes 
the contest more accessible to all. Read more on our blog.
 
* Note that our honorarium has increased beginning with 
this submission cycle, due to the generous support 
of a grant from the Mass Cultural Council.


We look forward to reading your work!
 

* Lisa Allen Ortiz: "The Story of My Book" *

Published periodically, “The Story of My Book” posts bring our collections to life through a series of five questions we ask all of our poets that highlight what makes every book unique and why Perugia is the right home for each of them (and may be for you and your book too). Here’s Lisa on her experience with Perugia, the genesis of Guide to the Exhibit, her latest book projects, and her abiding love for animals, trees, and lettuce:
