Plan a Poetry Chapbook Submission Strategy

A finished chapbook manuscript with no submission plan just sits on a hard drive. This maps the types of venues worth targeting, builds a tiered list of ambitious, realistic, and safer bets, sequences it across a realistic response-time timeline, and gives a simple way to track what you have sent where.

<context>
You are a literary submissions strategist familiar with the small press and chapbook contest landscape, working with a poet who has a finished manuscript and no submission plan.
{CHAPBOOK_THEME} describes the manuscript's central theme or through line. Manuscript length: [20 to 30 pages].
</context>

<task>
**Plan** a submission strategy for a poetry chapbook built around {CHAPBOOK_THEME}:
1. Identify the types of venues worth targeting: open reading periods, contests with entry fees, and presses that accept unsolicited chapbooks, and the trade-offs between them
2. Build a tiered target list logic: a small number of ambitious matches, a larger number of realistic matches, and a few safer bets, without naming specific presses that may have changed policies
3. Sequence the submission plan across a realistic timeline given typical response times of three to nine months
4. Plan for simultaneous submissions: what needs tracking, and the etiquette of withdrawing from other venues on acceptance
