| Plug into my 10·10 Poetry Anthology! |
As I mentioned in my New Year's Day post, to celebrate my 10 year Blog Birthday
I am accepting poetry submissions for my:
10·10 Poetry Anthology
(celebrating 10 in 10 different ways)
For this independently published project, I am looking for unpublished, original poems in all forms (written in English) that appeal to all audiences (children and/or adults) in the following 10 categories:
- tenacity
- 10 more minutes
- ten little fingers/ten little toes
- 10 points to Gryffindor*
- tension
- I tend to...
- tenderness
- take 10
- I wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot pole
- tentative
I plan to include 10 poems from each of the 10 categories to end up with 100 poems.
*I've contacted JK Rowling's website to make sure I can use the word Gryffindor... I haven't heard back. If it is a no-go due to copyright/trademark, I'll change this category. Fingers crossed.
NO ENTRY FEE
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 12 March 2021
WHERE DO I SUBMIT:
Send…
- your poem(s)

Thanks for this publishing opportunity. Are you accepting any submissions by kids?
Thanks for asking, Margaret. After a lot of thought, unfortunately I've decided accept submission from adult poets only. Being as this is my first anthology and it is a paying market, I feel I need to limit the scope of my talent. Who knows, maybe my next anthology will be by and for kids - I love that idea! :)
How pun . . . I mean fun . . . :D. I'll help spread the word. Happy 10th Blogiversary!
Thanks for the reminder, Bridget. Your anthology sounds fun! I'm working on a couple of poems I'm hoping to submit.
I haven't forgotten, just have my days filled, Bridget. I will try, & I have a note about it! Hugs!
Thank you for providing this spark of an opportunity to share the joy of poetry Bridget. I'll go ten to the dozen to see what I can find in my unpublished file. It's all quite tenable...
What a creative and generous way to celebrate 10 years of your blog, Bridget! I missed the original announcement, so I'm so glad you shared it again. Your punny poem is groan worthy! Love it!
Ha! Love your reminder. I have shared your call with my critique group. They are reading some drafts I hope to polish and send to you within a week or so. I love how you always move forward with poetry!
If you happen to have a way to send me a photo of a Swiss Ox (not cow or steer) I'd love it for my 2021 Ox project. No pressure and no hurry...it's going on all year.
Thank you for this fun reminder! Putting 10 on my next week's list to think about and maybe write!
Thanks for the reminder! I saved your first announcement to get back to, but I haven't gotten back to it!
What a fun way to celebrate 10 years of your blog! I'm pondering what might come...
Happy to seas this
reminder of yours
on growing
ten-sils of poems…
Hope to have some coming your way in the coming month, thanks Bridget!
Yay! Thanks, Jama! :)
Wonderful, Carmela! I look forward to reading your work. :)
Yippee! I'm glad you are keeping my anthology on your radar, Linda! Can't wait to read your words. :)
Woot! Can't wait to see what you find ten drawers down, Alan! :)
Thanks, Molly! I'm glad I decided to repost my call for submissions so that people like YOU, who missed it the first time can join the fun. And yes, I'm all about the groan of puns...just ask my daughters! :)
Thanks for sharing my call out, Linda! I look forward to reading your work when it arrives.
Sure, I'll keep a look out for pictures of Swiss Ox and send what I find your way. :)
Fabulous, Laura! I'm excited to see what you ten-tatively come up with! :)
Thank YOU, Ruth, for keeping my anthology in mind. I look forward to reading your words. :)
Perfect, Kay! I eagerly await the product(s) of your ponderous ways... :)
Yahoo, Michelle! Your words will be welcomed when they arrive. :)
ah, darn! I wrote something and then missed the deadline.
I hope you received a lot of good work.
