A few hundred years ago, chapbooks were pamphlets of popular tales or ballads, hawked in the streets for pennies.

21st century e-chapbooks are the contemporary equivalent with the potential for reaching many more readers than do limited print editions.

Wordrunner Electronic Chapbooks will publish four collections of fiction, poetry or memoir each year on this site.

Previously published e-chapbooks may be read in the Archives.

SUBMISSIONS will be accepted from July 1 to August 21, 2010 for the fall 2010 fiction issue.

Sign up for quarterly email reminders of each issue. Write to echaps@wordrunner.com to be added to the mailing list.
