A few hundred years ago, chapbooks were pamphlets of popular tales or ballads, hawked in the streets for pennies. 21st century echapbooks are the contemporary equivalent with the potential for reaching many more readers than do limited print editions.

Wordrunner eChapbooks publishes four collections of fiction, poetry or memoir (personal narrative) per year on this site, each featuring one author, and an occasional anthology.

SUBMISSIONS will be accepted from January 1 to February 21, 2011 for the spring 2011 fiction issue.

Previously published echapbooks may be read in the ARCHIVES.

Please visit the site again and often. We will be offering our readers a wide variety of original, high quality writing in the years to come.
