Cinnamon Press call for Anthology submissions


New call for submissions to anthology of poetry and prose poetry sequences

We are looking for submissions to an anthology of sequences – written as poetry (all styles and subjects welcome) or prose poetry. Your sequence should contain between 3 and 12 poems/prose poems, each of up to 40 lines or 250 words for prose poems. All details are on the Cinnamon Press website www.cinnamonpress.com

The aim of this anthology is to showcase a substantial piece of work from each of the selected poets and to feature a poetry form that is often hard to place with publishers.

You may submit as many sequences as you wish, and those chosen will appear in a new Cinnamon anthology: Sequences to be published in late 2011, co-edited by Rowan and Jan Fortune-Wood.

Due to the huge popularity of the submission calls we are charging a small administration fee. This will help us pay for the time of someone to collate email addresses and send responses etc. This is a small, one off fee per person, not per sequence so you do not have to pay for the number of sequences you send. The fee is £2 payable via Paypal (which will convert other currencies) or you can send a cheque to ‘Cinnamon Press’ (sterling only) with a note of your name and the title of your submission.

Submission Guidelines for Sequences anthology
Please read these carefully. Due to the large volume of submissions expected we will only be able to process those submissions that conform to the guidelines.

* The deadline for submissions is: 15th May 2010. Due to high volume of submissions received we will not be able to extend this.
* Each sequence must contain between 3 and 12 poems/prose poems, each of up to 40 lines in length or 250 words for prose poems.
* Sequences can be on any subject and you may send several sequences, but please submit them attached to ONE email with each sequence attached as a word document using a .doc or .rtf format (so, for example, if you are sending three sequences you will be sending one email with three attachments).
* All submissions must be via email. We are not accepting hard copy submissions.
* There is an admin fee of £2 per person (this covers as many sequences as you would like to send provided they are in one email).
* Submit pieces to both Rowan Fortune-Wood at rowan@cinnamonpress.comand Jan Fortune-Wood at jan@cinnamonpress.com with ‘sequences anthology’ in the subject line.
* In the body of the email please type your name and location.
* Please ensure your virus protection is up to date.
* The decisions of the editors are final.

We hope to inform everyone who has sent a submission of which pieces will be included in the anthology by late October 2010. Please ensure that you inform us if your email address changes after sending the submission.

All those whose work is selected will receive a complimentary copy of the anthology.
