Submissions Sought: Pagan Poetry Pages Summer 2010 Edition

The Pagan Poetry Pages are now accepting submissions for their Summer Edition. All writers of poetry and prose are invited to submit their work, either by posting on the fora at the Pagan Poetry Pages website, or by emailing the editor at editors(at)paganpoetrypages(dot)com.

Writers do not have to be pagan, but if the piece is pagan themed, or related to paganism in some way, please consider submitting your work for publication to the Summer edition of the Pagan Poetry Pages.

Poetry Challenge

A challenge for all poets: Write a love poem or an anti-valentine, whichever you prefer for Valentine's Day.

Post it at the Pagan Poetry Pages, with  either "Valentine" or "Anti-Valentine" in the subject line.

Competition

A fountain pen?
Now there's a thing to win.

What to write?
If only I wasn't so dim.

Some inspiration?
Now that's what I need.

And ideas?
But my mind has gone to seed.

Hate Poetry?

Fake it. I don't care :) This is a note of Shameless Celtic Boasting in the grand tradition of our forebears to raise awareness that: (a) we have an anthology; and(b) it's damn fine. PPP Publications are terribly proud of themselves. And if you're thinking why the giddy hell is she annoying ME with this - it's so you know we have an anthology!

Submissions for the Pagan Poetry Pages Anthology

The Pagan Poetry Pages anthology submissions deadline is November 10th, 2008. Yes it's actually happening

Here's how it works:

We need your help.

We need you to submit the poems of which you are most proud, either already showcased at PPP or new poetry. Don't worry about type, or theme, leave that to us. Worry about what poems you really really like. If you see a poem from another PPP poet that you love, also bring that to our attention.

Submit by email to to ppp (at) anfianna (dot) com

1. Mark your submissions CLEARLY - including the NAME YOU WANT TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER, which is very important. If you submit under "mad maddie", then you will be acknowledged in the anthology under Mad Maggie. We won't have time to double check with everyone what name they wish to use, etc.
   
2. Include a biography. It can be long or short, but it would be good to include: where you live; what type of poetry you like; what inspires you; if you've had poems published elsewhere; anything along those lines.
   
3. Be aware, submission is hereby taken as permission to publish. The PPP will be allowed to publish any poem submitted by its author in the anthology and in other forthcoming anthologies in the future. Other than that, copyright remains with the author.
   

SUBMIT and be part of the very first PPP anthology of Poetry.

P.S. Please don't think that you've submitted because you've posted poems at the PPP site. We need you to choose and submit, as per the above instructions, as many poems as you wish for consideration.
