Now that Write Wing's ad is published in the current issue of Poets & Writers, a re-post of the submission guidelines is in order, so poets will not have to scroll back through older posts. Here it is again, and good luck to all entrants:
Call for Poetry Submissions
Surrounded: Living With Islands
Write
Wing Publishing calls for submissions of poems about living on, by or with
islands. These islands can be
physical or metaphorical. Poems
may be prose poems, blank verse, free verse and/or traditional forms.
What
is your experience with islands?
Do you feel captive?
Insulated? Serene? Cabin fever, as residents of
Hawaii have reported? Surrounded
seeks strong voices, both emerging and established, to explore this
subject. For inspiration, see
Reuben Tam’s The Wind-Honed Islands Rise.
Please
submit 1-3 original unpublished poems, limit 60 lines each; Times New Roman
12-point font, single-spaced.
Include SASE, cover sheet with contact info, poem titles and brief
author bio (<50 words), and $5.00 reading fee. (Poems should not show writer’s name.) Mail to: Write Wing Publishing, 3795 Hubble Court, Clinton WA 98236. Deadline:
February 10, 2012.
A
prize of $50.00 will be awarded for best overall submission. Poets selected for publication will
receive one free copy of the book.
All rights revert to authors after publication.
