Hi Shannon - The new ART CENTER in Melaque is having a bookfair. Local authors (and we serve the entire CostAegre) are encouraged to bring copies of their books and be prepared to give a short reading or talk. o, keep a few of those books for next season. | -------------------Re: Poets and Writers of La Manz

Shannon, This sounds like a great idea and the first of its kind here, that I know of. A few questions... 1) Should we submit our work with a Spanish translation? 2) What is the word limit on the pieces? 3) Do the topics need to be related to Mexico/La Manzanilla? 4) When is the submission date? I think a lot of the writer's group members will be interested in submitting their work. Thanks! | -------------------Re: Poets and Writers of La Manz

1) Should we submit our work with a Spanish translation? NO! If you write it in English please submit in English...if you write it in French or Spanish originally submit it in the original language! If you have a forte for translation and WANT to submit both forms go for it! I have a French and Spanish language editor to help! 2) What is the word limit on the pieces? Poetry: Try to limit to one page, two pages at the most. Prose/Essay: 3500 words Short Story: Think Flash Fiction...3500 words would be optimal but no more than 5,000 words. 3) Do the topics need to be related to Mexico/La Manzanilla? Nope! This is your opportunity to shine. Do keep it to PG...we want to appeal to a wide audience. Leave the X-Rated work for another publication! 4) When is the submission date? I would like to have work sooner than later to begin grooming the pieces and planning layout. I have set 1 August as the target date for most pieces to be in; however, I think realistically 1 September would need to be a hard date in order to get the book off to print so I can have hard copies in hand by the time we depart for La Manz in Mid-November. Questions? I am happy to set up a call or a online meeting to chat about particulars. Or email me: Pshannon.evans@gmail.com I look forward to your pieces! | -------------------Re: Poets and Writers of La Manz

I am starting to get some submissions for this anthology. I hope you will share this with anyone you know who frequents our fair village and loves to write. We'd love to have as many contributors as possible! There are so many talented people here. As a side note: All material rights remain with the original author of each entry. I look forward to your submissions! pshannon.evans@gmail.com | -------------------
