Burnside Review
Founded in 2004, Burnside Review is an independent small press dedicated to publishing full-length books and chapbooks of poetry, distributed to the trade by Asterism Books. The press runs two annual anonymous-review contests: the Spring Chapbook Contest and the Fall Book Contest, both accepting simultaneous submissions via an online manager. Winners receive cash prizes of $200 for chapbooks and $1,000 for full-length books alongside 10 author copies, while AI-generated manuscripts are strictly prohibited.
