Made from Midnight Anthology
We are a small group of women---poets, editors, and authors---who started this project last year with one goal: collaboration. We've seen first hand the amazing things connection can do for our spirits, minds, and bodies. We would love nothing more than to have you join us! It gives us great pleasure to write these next words: Welcome to Poets in the Pines' very first anthology
Death, in all its forms, has the power to unravel us—one thread at a time. But in the unmaking, we are woven into something greater, something stronger. We are searching for works of short prose and poetry that explore this dark and often lonely quest through the graveyard, discuss the deals made with demons to grant us one more day, and most importantly, say the unsaid in a way that makes readers question if they’ve written the words themselves. Do not limit yourself to grief. Death involves many facets: the afterlife, the supernatural, transition, aging, etc. Be creative! We’re interested in exceptional writing, strong feelings, and vivid imagery—Gothic, floral, or whatever surprising images death evokes for you.
Please do not send graphic horror or gruesome violence.
A group of three professional editors and authors will judge each piece in an unbiased and anonymous process. Your writing will be scored a 1-5 on the following: creativity, technicality, imagery, and alignment to theme, with the highest score being a 20.
Submit your work here.
PLEASE NOTE: At this time, there are no costs for submission. However, offering a donation will allow us to give you honest and constructive feedback on your work, whether you are accepted or not.
A percentage of proceeds will go to a charity TBD.
If your entry is accepted, you will be sent a contract via email.
Contributors receive one free copy of the book after publishing. Global authors, we kindly ask that you cover shipping costs.
Deadline to submit: June 6, 2025.
