My friends at FutureCycle Press are calling for poetry and flash fiction submissions now. Take this opportunity to send in your work Diane Kistner and Robert S. King put out good books. Check out their website below.
Call for Submissions
FutureCycle Press is now reading poetry and flash fiction
written in the English language for books, chapbooks, and anthologies to be
published globally in both print-on-demand and Kindle ebook formats. We read
year-round, simultaneous submissions are okay, and we try to respond within
three months or less. Detailed guidelines and to submit: www.futurecycle.submittable.com.
Catalog: www.futurecycle.org.
(Tip: Amazon’s “Look Inside” feature is a great free way to get a feel for
what we like. Also see our Good Works and Archives tabs and Free Kindle
Saturdays promotions.)
GOOD WORKS PROJECTS
In 2013, FutureCycle Press introduced its Good Works projects,
thematic anthologies with all proceeds donated to a related worthy cause.
Previously published work is considered if all English-language print
and digital rights have reverted to the author and a credit to the original
publisher is provided.

page and bio with your submission. Reading Fee: $15. Deadline: None.

Our Selected Poems series will feature contemporary
poets with a substantial body of work to their credit. Reading Fee: $15.

Thanks for the shout-out, Glenda. Note the Malala anthology is closed. The anthology, in production now, will be published October 9, the anniversary of her shooting by the Taliban, instead of on November 10. (November 10, by the way, is actually not Malala Day. We got this info from a Wikipedia entry, which was later corrected. Thanks for the reminder to fix it on our web site!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane, for updating this info. I hope my readers will submit to your upcoming anthologies.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Glenda, for posting the information about Future Cycle Press on
ReplyDeleteyour Writers Circle blog. I've been meaning to publish a chapbook of
poems specifically about my care giving experiences. Now, I think I may
have found a publisher. By the way, Blogger still appears to be broken
or I would have commented there.
