Call for Craft Essays on Poetry for Anthology: Far Villages: Welcome Essays for New & Beginner Poets

Call for Submissions - New Anthology of Essays from Black Lawrence Press

Far Villages: Welcome Essays for New & Beginner Poets

Abstract:
Poetry manuals, at their most essential, are aimed at demystifying aspects of poetry (especially for beginner poets) in order to make poets’ journeys easier and less daunting. Such manuals are also reminders that poetry itself is a discipline with a landscape and a history.

With this anthology, we aim to build on the long body of work in this tradition by bringing a number of established and emerging poets together in a single volume to welcome new and beginner poets to the art. Multiple voices, we believe, are essential to the poet’s journey.

Call for Submissions:

• Black Lawrence Press is now accepting submissions for a new anthology of essays.

• Poets in the United States and abroad are encouraged to submit essays aimed at welcoming new and beginner poets to the discipline of poetry.

• Contributors are encouraged to provide anecdotes and advice, instructions and suggestions, fun exercises and crazy ideas, or individual failures and encouraging words, in order to better prepare new poets for the long journey through poetry.

Essays should be between 700-5000 words on any of the following broad themes (other themes will be considered):
1. First Words
2. Poetry Workshop
3. The Poet’s Journey
4. Family & Work
5. The Poet in the World
Essays can be creative or academic. However, they have to be accessible since they are also for a general audience.

Previously published essays are welcome. Contributors will receive a copy of the anthology as payment.

Abayomi Animashaun, will serve as editor. Please contact him at:

abayo.animashaunATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to .)

with questions.

Submissions will be accepted via Submittable.

Deadline for Submission is November 30, 2017.

Call for Submissions to Anthology: Shhhh...Murder!

Call for Submissions: Shhhh… Murder!

 Scheduled for release in late spring of next year and timed for summer reading, this anthology will feature cozy to cozy-noir stories featuring libraries and librarians. Extra points will be shamelessly awarded to writers with personal ties to libraries.

The submission period for this anthology runs from November 1st to February 28th, upon the last stroke of midnight, Pacific Standard Time.

We are looking for stories from 2500 to 5000 words, but will consider stories outside that range, at our discretion. Contributors will share equally fifty percent of the royalties received. We expect between fifteen and twenty stories to be accepted and are aiming at a volume length of around eighty-five thousand words, and around two-hundred and thirty pages—all dependent, obviously, upon the length of the material chosen.

We will accept work previously published, provided it was not published after May of 2017, and that you hold the rights. Simultaneous submissions are fine, with the usual proviso that we should be notified should the work be accepted elsewhere, so that we may withdraw it from consideration.

Submissions and questions may be sent to:

submissionsATdarkhousebooksDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )

We are targeting influential women in politics, industry, film, and media as well as emerging and established writers.

Please submit the original letter, the daughter’s reflection on it and how it and her relationship with her father has influenced her life.

The anthology will be published in June 2018, in time for Father’s Day.

No minimum word count, but please keep your reflections to 2500 words. Submit your piece and the re-typed letter in the body of your email and as an attached Word document to:

Call for Readers & Screeners for International Writers Residency

Call for Readers & Screeners for International Writers Residency

The Baltic Writing Residency has expanded, and we are looking for both poetry readers, and fiction readers to contribute to the application screening process for each genre, in addition to our general screeners, and also to aid in some of the logistics of residencies and chapbook publication. These are volunteer positions.

The BWR is an international residency program for writers, founded in 2008, and with locations in Sweden, Scotland and Kentucky. Residents have included National Book Award finalists, those numbered in The New Yorker’s “Fiction Writers to Watch: 20 under 40,” as well as winners of Whiting Writer’s Awards, Guggenheim Fellowships, and PEN/O. Henry Awards.

Anyone holding, or currently a candidate for, an MFA or PhD interested in the positions is invited to be in touch at:

balticresidencyATgmailDOTcom 

immediately. We are looking for readers who read widely across content and style, and who have broad aesthetic interests. Our winners and finalists range from the linear/conventional, to the conceptual/experimental, to the collaborative (though we receive very little sci-fi, fantasy, crime, YA, &c.), and so we value readers who can identify quality regardless of an applicant's approach to writing.

What we’d like from the prospective readers – all in the body of an email:
1. A list of the last 5-10 books of poetry or prose, depending on the genre for which they would like to screen, which they have read most recently.
2. A list of 10-15 books of poetry or of prose (again, depending on their preference for screening) published since 1980 that they most enjoyed.
3. A basic 50-200 word writer’s bio.
4. An estimate of how many hours each week that can be contributed to working with the Baltic, keeping in mind that there will be weeks where there is nothing much to do, at all, and weeks when 1-8 hours of reading might be necessary.

Warm regards,
Michael Estes & Adam Day
