Rose Metal Press is thrilled to announce that judge Randall Brown selected the manuscript Shampoo Horns by Aaron Teel as the winner of this year’s sixth annual short short chapbook contest. You can read about the terrific finalists and semi-finalists here.
Aaron does not, in fact, win a chicken dinner (that would be gross), but he does get to have his book printed in a limited edition with letterpressed covers, along with an intro by Brown. The book will be available this coming July, and you can sign up to receive a copy by becoming a supporter here. In fact, while you’re there, you can also help us reach our 2012 subscription drive goal of $12,000–there are just 12 days left, and any and every amount helps RMP bring more innovative works in hybrid genres into the hands of readers.
