-
Submissions accepted only via on line form (added to this page later).
-
Submissions accepted from a former contributor or someone recommended by
a former contributor.
-
Only one submission per poet/writer.
-
Poem may not exceed 38 lines (includes title author's name and a
blank line prior to the poem) flash fiction should not exceed 325
words (bottom line is that the flash fiction must fit on a page
5.5"x 8.5" with a top and bottom margin of .5" and right and left margins
of .75" 11 pt TSR font and you can get more words on the page if your submission
is mostly narrative{as the one is below} as opposed to mostly dialogue)
-
NOTE: Contributors may purchase the book at a reduced rate upon publication.
Old Mountain Press will publish
a collection of poetry by a number of poets. Our goal is to gather
enough quality poems and flash fiction for an estimated 50 to 90 page book
with the theme of anything about reading, writing, or public speaking (a
plus if your submission has a holiday slant).Would like to have as many
poets involved as possible. Requirements are below. Authors receive
publishing credit and retain all rights to their work but agree to the
inclusion of their poem in this collection of poetry.
-
Author must have rights to the poem (previously published OK, but not in
an OMP anthology).
-
Poem may not exceed 38 lines flash fiction may not exceed 325 words (this
includes title, spaces, and author's name).
-
Poetry lines that exceed 45 letters and spaces will wrap and count
as two lines.
-
Initially, only one poem/flash fiction per writer, so give it your best
shot:-)

Publication is dependent on receiving sufficient quality poems for
inclusion in the anthology.
Upcoming Anthologies
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such
gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult
who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery
of the world we live in.
~Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) writer, scientist, and ecologist.~
