Thanks for coming by! We love the Twin Cities (and this year's TCBF was particularly 🤩)

Come say hi to your favorite press's directorial team-- @suburbanprairie.bsky.social and
@calebtankersley.bsky.social
will be tabling--and pick up our frontlist AS WELL AS selected backlist books at SPECIAL DISCOUNT PRICES! See you this Saturday!

Our readers typically stick with us for multiple seasons, so we're really looking for the best fits--and we hope it'll be you! We'll repost this/update the graphic with the application link on Nov 2--see you then!

2.) Our SS/FF editor would love to hear about a short story or flash fiction collection you recently read and enjoyed--and what you enjoyed about it.

3.) Most of all, let us know why you are interested in reading short story and flash fiction book manuscripts for Split/Lip Press!

As mentioned, there WILL be a cap on applications, but we're providing the app questions/info now so you can get your information in order:

1.) Please include a short biographical statement, any relevant journal/reading experience, and any personal short story/flash fiction writing experience.

To answer a couple of other questions that came up with the NF reader apps last month: yes, this position is fully remote. Yes, we are open to international applicants. The time commitment is ~2hrs/week during the reading period.

Have a little look-see, and while you're there, check out our brand new 2026 Split/Lip Press Subscription Boxes. We'll be hyping these more in the forthcoming Nov 1 newsletter--preorder all 4 2026 SLP books, plus a bonus--but they're available now!
