Submit! Submit!

Poet and fiction writer Anne Brudevold is putting together a new press. I've been posting this on various Yahoo! Group sites and hope any readers of this site take advantage.

The Eden River Press

We are a new literary press operating out of the Boston/Cambridge area.
We accept unsolicited manuscripts that follow these guidelines:

up to 6 poems
5-6 pages of fiction
2-3 pages of non fiction/ book review/author interview

For this edition we have a theme – HOME
We are open to your associations with this theme. Memories, Roots, Family, Homelessness, Running Away, Lack or loss of family, treasured moments, being at home, uncomfortable or in despair with yourself or your world – your truths. We accept poetic forms, free verse, prose/verse. We want to hear your voice, practiced use of words, conscious use of language, imaginative and unique associations, language that reaches us on a deep level. No hallmark verse or porn.

The deadline for this edition is September 30, 2007. We will not read manuscripts received after this date. Please do not send revisions of a poem once you have submitted it. We receive too many submissions to deal with this. Send us your best finished poems. We do not accept poems that have been previously published. We do accept simultaneous submissions, but please notify us if a poem is accepted by another journal so that we can withdraw it from our consideration.

Thank you for submitting to us. We will read your work with great care.

You may submit by email to edenriverpress@gmail.com or abrudevold@yahoo.com. If you wish to submit by snailmail, email us for details.

Update: Visit this post here for the new name and web address of the press!
