A READING publisher is seeking submissions for a collection of poetry from people with links to the town.
Two Rivers Press is currently preparing an anthology of works from people living in or with strong ties to Reading for publication next year.
Submissions will be selected by a judging and editing panel led by one of the leading exponents of Reading’s poetry scene, Vic Pickup.
Up to four poems may be submitted, written in Times New Roman font in 12pt type size, with a maximum of 40 lines for each poem, excluding title and stanza breaks.
Poems must be accompanied by a biography no longer than 100 words and a short explanation of your connection with the town.
They must not have been previously published, self-published, or made public on a website or social media, and in English.
Poems and biography must be submitted as a single document via email with the author’s name and email address as the header on each page.
Submissions can be emailed to vic@tworiverspress.com before the closing date of midnight on Sunday, April 30.
