about us
the red ceilings press
Limited edition poetry chapbooks, free poetry ebooks and blog.
Welcome to the Red Ceilings Press where we publish contemporary poetry in the form of limited edition chapbooks and free ebooks.
The Red Ceilings originally started out as a poetry blog for both new and established contemporary poets and quickly expanded into publishing an ebook series of online and downloadable booklets. We have now started our latest venture - a series of limited edition A6 pocket sized chapbooks.
We are pleased to announce a collaboration with Deadly Chaps (USA) who will be producing print copies of some of our more popuar eBooks under the Red & Deadly title. Visit Deadly Chaps for titles available so far.
submissions
We welcome submissions for our ebook series, chapbooks and blog. We like innovative, experimental and avant-garde poetry in particular.
In general we tend to use the ebook series to publish world poets and the chapbooks to show UK poets. Translations are very welcome.
Send your submissions to theredceilings@gmail.com in either rtf or doc format, or if submitting for the blog then in the body of an email will do.
blog & ebooks
New voices to the blog are most welcome but please don't submit more than 5 poems.
The ebooks, because of their nature, can be of any length, but poetry only please.
chapbooks
There will be 40 numbered copies of each.
The chapbooks are in A6 format so please consider this when sending poems of longer line length. We don't want to set your fine work at 6pt.
If accepted we will ask you to take a minimum of 10 copies of the book at a reduced price (along with a complimentary copy) to help us to continue publishing.
Ebook & chapbook poets should preferably have a previous publication history. So, please mention where your work has appeared in your submission email and also provide a brief biography.

MISS AMERICA
I miss America
you miss a lot of things,
she said—
I’m really going to Kansas this time;
I’m no longer putting it off
the doorbell laughed as
a package was delivered
I’m not surprised at all,
she said—
I was glad we were still intact
hotdogs and pipe bombs
are delicious in mixed company
my only regret,
I said—
is that we don’t have them more
