About From Notebook to Published Book
Getting published shouldn't be an exclusive club. We keep our submission process open to everyone—whether you're writing in English, Hindi, Bengali, or Tamil. If your work is selected for our Top 500 list, we handle the production of our annual anthology and ship a physical copy straight to your door, so you can hold your own words in your hands.
The journey from a scribbled thought in a notebook to a professionally printed page is one we want every poet to experience. Through the Wingword Poetry Prize, we have created a pathway that removes the gatekeeping usually found in the literary world. We do not care if you are a seasoned writer or if this is the first time you have shared your work with anyone other than your diary.
Our selection process is built on merit and diversity. We actively seek submissions in English, Hindi, and regional languages like Bengali and Tamil because we know that the soul of poetry does not always speak in one tongue. When you submit to our competition, you are not just entering a contest; you are joining a community of thousands of writers who have shared their personal truths—from heartbreak and grief to hope and rebirth—in our published volumes.
If your poem ranks in the Top 500, it earns a spot in our physical anthology. We manage the editing, layout, and publishing process, and we ship a complimentary paperback copy directly to you. This is not just a digital certificate; it is a tangible artifact of your creative journey. Whether you are writing about the mysteries of the afterlife or the quiet moments of a Sunday afternoon, your voice has a home here. We run two cycles a year, ensuring there is always an open door for you to share your work.
