How else can I become a Jack Wild author?
Every summer, we do our Summer Chapbook Contest. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in a publishing contract with Jack Wild. We choose one winner. Our next contest begins around June 20th 2023. This gives you plenty of time to work on a new book or finish yours! Follow us on social media for information on the upcoming contest.
