Gold Line Press
Created by a group of graduate students and their staff advisor in 2010, Gold Line Press aims to promote the work of emerging poets and prose writers, as well as to promote/elevate the chapbook form. The Gold Line Press editorial board does not adhere to any specific aesthetic approach. We seek out voices that deserve to be heard by a larger audience, whether those voices speak in formal or experimental forms.
Our chapbooks are created with the intention of producing an elegant, perfect-bound book that is also an art object. Overall, our goal is to showcase exceptional emerging writers and reward them not only with publication, but also with broad distribution of their work to reviewers. While most chapbooks have received only limited exposure in the past, our aim is to make the chapbook a more relevant medium and a truly useful tool for new writers who want to bring their work to a broader audience.
Gold Line Press publishes the annual winner of the Gold Line Press Chapbook Competition. The series is run by students of the University of Southern California’s PhD Program in Creative Writing. We do not take unsolicited submissions. If you are interested in having Gold Line publish your chapbook, you must submit to our annual competition.
