Looking for a Creative Outlet?

 Look no further! 

I'm 'amped' to remind you of my bright idea!

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For this independently published project, I am looking for unpublished, original poems in all forms (written in English) that appeal to all audiences (children and/or adults) in the following 10 categories: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)
  • an indication of which category it fits
  • your contact info 

…to me, Bridget Magee at: 10.10.weewords.submissions@gmail.com

WHEN WILL YOU HEAR BACK: Successful poets will be contacted by the end of June 2021

PUBLICATION DATE: October 2021

PAYMENT: Accepted poems will receive a one-time honorarium of $10/poem upon publication. 

You are welcome to share this submission opportunity with any and all poets you know. The more submissions the merrier (and the better the anthology).

Today's punny poem is ME telling YOU,

 "You CONDUIT!"

go ahead, submit watt

    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! :)

    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 I'll go ten to the dozen to see what I can find in my unpublished file.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!

      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! :)

    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.

      Sure, I'll keep a look out for pictures of Swiss Ox and send what I find your way. :)
