Greetings, Y'all Poets, Bards, n Troubadours,
NO SUBMISSIONS MEANS NO ANTHOLOGY. Take heed. Read the directions and submit you poems for Skipping Stones Vol VII. Those poems you don't submit won't be published. Though there is no guarantee for any given poem, those you do submit have at least a decent chance of making it into the book.
FLASH!!! URGENT ALERT!!! There are only 14 days left to submit poems, photos, artwork to Skipping Stones for consideration for publication in Volume VII planned for release in November. But we gotta absolutely MUST have your $5 submission fee and up to 5 poems NOT LATER THAN midnight June 30. Digital copy in Word Perfect, MS Word, pdf, or WordPad formats; graphics in pdf or jpg formats. See details [what, when, how] on the website ChesBayPoets.org and click on the picture of Skipping Stones Vol VII.
Hey! Here is a BIG Heads Up. Check out this summer series of 3 FREE writers workshops about getting published, especially how to write a sound and effective query letter and how to find and impress an agent. The rest of the series appears equally inviting. The presenters are rock-solid, successful writers. I'm signed up and ready to go to the Yorktown Public Library on Rt 17 on the way to the Coleman Bridge from Southside. If you want to seriously sell your book to a publisher, don't miss it. All it costs is TIME and the belief that you really can write something somebody else wants to read. (The link is to the flyer found on the ChesBayPoets website Home page in the RH column of links.) THESE ARE BIG-TIME WORKSHOPS. DON'T LET 'EM GET AWAY.
The Muse in downtown Norfolk has more going on than I can post here. But it's on the CBP website. Check it out.
The Venue at 35th Street in Norfolk hosts an evening of open mic entertainment from music to story-telling to poetry to drama every Monday evening and late-week and weekend entertainment most of the time. Check 'em out at www.venue-35.com. This week weekend at the Venue look for Dirty Barbie starting TONIGHT - Thursday June 16.
http://ChesBayPoets.org tells most all, albeit misses one or another from time to time. Most of the cited events and venues can be found on the website, often on a link on the Home page or at least from the link to Monthly/Weekly events on the front page as well as from elsewhere inside the website.
Look ahead to the Hampton Roads Writers third annual Writers' Conference at the Double Tree Inn in Virginia Beach.
Writing won't make you fat, nor get you drunk. But if we don't munch and drink while writing and sharing our stuff, then why do we do it? - write, I mean.
Hoo ahhhhhhhhh
