Collaborative poetry collection. Prole is starting an exciting new project. We are looking for three or four poets who have a pamphlet length collection ready to submit. The aim is to publish a full collection featuring these poets. As ever with Prole, style and subject matter are completely open, it’s quality that counts. As well as quality writing, we’re looking for poets who will actively promote the collection through readings, their websites, writing groups etc. Poetry is a hard sell, but it’s well worth the effort to get quality writing out there.
If you think you have something that will interest us, please submit no more than 40 poems tosubmissionspoetry@prolebooks.co.uk including the poems in the body of the email. Please, no attachments. We are happy to include poems that have been previously published so long as the contributor is clear that they have retained rights to do so. We do not want previously published pamphlets.
We are active editors and will work with poets in order to select or hone any chosen submission.
Submissions should reach us by March 31st.
Payment will be paid on a royalty basis. If we make a profit, our writers are paid. 50% of any profit will be retained by Prole, 50% will be shared equally between the contributors.
Other ongoing Prole projects:
Our poetry competition is open for entries until the end of the month.
Issue 12 of Prole is available from our website.
Wendy Pratt’s excellent Poetry collection, Museum Pieces, also available.
Best Prole wishes for a great 2014,
Brett and Phil
