Announcement for the Write Action 10th Anniversary Anthology

Purpose
To present the best poetry, short fiction, and non-fiction writing of the members of Write Action in an anthology that commemorates the tenth (10th) anniversary of the organization.

Rules and regulations
All members are invited to submit up to three poems (or no more
than three pages) and up to two prose pieces (word limit l500 each) for
inclusion in the anthology. If you are receiving the newsletter, you are a member!

Members may submit one submission for each category if so desired, but will likely (due to space considerations) have only one piece from one or another category in the anthology.

Please do not send previously published work (unless publication is in a WA publication)

Please make sure name and contact information is on all pages of the submitted work, and that the submission has a cover letter with title(s) of work and contact information (including phone #).

Hard copy submissions should be sent to Write Action, P.O. Box 822,
Brattleboro, VT 05302.

Deadline is April 20th.

Writers will retain copyright of published work.

Upon acceptance for publication, work chosen will need to be resent in digital form.

We aim for publication, a perfect-bound soft cover book as was the first collection, in time for the Literary Festival in October.

_____________

Write Action is a non-profit organization formed to strengthen a community of writers in the Brattleboro Area.

The Kellogg-Hubbard Library and Montpelier Alive are seeking poetry to install in
downtown Montpelier storefronts during National Poetry Month (April) 2010 from Vermont-
based poets. There will be a poetry guide published for visitors to conduct a self-guided
tour, and it will be highlighted in Montpelier Art Walk taking place on April 23rd. 
There are special requests for short (think WC Williams) and haiku poetry.  Possible
themes are spring/nature, food, or fashion. Send us your best work. You will be contacted
if your poem(s) will be on display, though it’s possible that not all the poems submitted
will be included.  If you have published books and would rather grant a broad permission
to use from published sources, please say so in the e-mail.
 
Poets already participating include Galway Kinnell, David Budbill, Ellen Bryant Voight,
Tim Mayo, and Jody Gladding. To have your work considered, please send them to Rachel
