Firstfruits publications seeks submissions of poetry in English from Singapore poets who have yet to publish a full-length, single-author collection of poetry. Selected work will appear in an anthology to be published next year. All submissions must be sent before 1st September 2010.
Guidelines:
Only email submissions will be accepted. Send 6-8 poems to stormglass.antho[at]gmail[dot]com, either as a single attachment (.rtf or .doc only–no .docx files, please) or, if your poems’ formatting will not suffer for it, as text in the body of your email. Title your email “SUBMISSION: [Your Name Here]“. At least half the poems submitted must be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are permitted without reservations.
Please do not include a cover letter at this time, but do include your name, home or mobile telephone number, and a statement declaring that you fulfill both criteria for this anthology. A biographical note will be requested if your submission is successful.
Mini-FAQ:
