Publish your book with Modern English Tanka Press

If you have a book to publish which includes fine short verse, consider publishing it with Modern English Tanka Press under our equity publishing arrangements. Since we become partners in publication, Modern English Tanka Press exercises editorial discretion in the acceptance of manuscripts. If you are interested, contact us by email at dmg (at) themetpress (dot) com.

Before making a query or proposal, you should read the following guidelines carefully and you should have a complete, or nearly complete, manuscript ready for email transmission for consideration. “Equity Publishing Services, Pass-Through Costs, Perquisites, Profit-Sharing.” For more details, read the PDF document “METP Guidelines for Equity Publishing Book Projects with Partners.”

Short verse books, chapbooks, etc. are usually published under our primary imprint, "Modern English Tanka Press." Most other projects would be published under our specialty imprint, "MET Press." The METP guidelines apply also to projects under the MET Press imprint.

We look forward to hearing from you.
