Deadline: 30 June 2012
Karen O’Leary and APF Publisher, Patricia Simpson are seeking short verse for a new anthology with the tentative title of Snippets…an anthology of short verse. We are targeting a general audience of all ages. With that in mind, we are looking for poetry that is easy to understand while still creative. Imagery is a plus.
We will not be able to provide free copies to contributors but hope to offer books at a reasonable rate. The book will be available online at http://www.lulu.com which is the company that will be printing the volume. It is not necessary to purchase a copy to be included in the book.
