Deadline: 30 April 2011
I am happy to inform you that VELVI Books, a publishing house of Velvi Trust, has planned to edit a volume of poetry by young people in the spectrum. Any one in the spectrum may write the poem.
Some guidelines:
A poem should be the original work of the person in the spectrum (special care should be taken to use the author’s words)
It can be of any length but a minimum of twenty lines per poem
The work should be submitted in MS word format
If the editor feels that some poems are to be rewritten they will be sent back to the authors with editor’s comments.
A kind of mentoring the writer’s work will be done
Themes: not confined to autism. Can be anything under the sun (under the carpet too)
Feel free to write free verse or use any genre like a sonnet or ode or ballad. Flexibility of the form is stressed in the selection
Dates: the first draft should be submitted by 30 April 2011
The volume is expected to be released at the 2012 Art for Autism festival.
Go ahead, grab a pen and paper. Let us see how we imagine the world from the spectrum.
