Question: How do potential publishers feel about published chapters? I’m thinking about submitting a chapter of my SFF book for a contest but am concerned about future publisher perception. Am I putting the cart before the horse? Do they care? Halp.

Just heard about the Bitter Oleander Press Library of Poetry Award 2023 contest. First prize is $1,500 and also publication. The deadline is a little less than a month away for any who want to enter
bitteroleander.com/contest.htm

Question/Advice seeking: i didnt see a way to read, even preview, previous winners entries. While i enjoy writing poetry (or poetryish) i have next to know idea what a publisher/contest is looking for in a Poetry Manuscript. Requirements are 48-80 types pages in length, and it seems to suggest that it can/would include multiple poems.

Does anyone know;
-Should it only be one poem to a typed page (as far as length expectations) or should multiple small poems be on the same page?

-i assume there should be some connective theme at least, but are the poems expected to be directly connected to each other, or just fit well in a collection?

-What else should an obviously uninformed novice know about assembling a manuscript for entry?

Boosts Appreciated

Another Leg, my which co-won Flashpoint SF’s Drabble Contest, has been posted! And illustrated!

“This ends today,” I whispered.
“Indeed it does,” he hissed, shoving me back.

It was a fun little story, and the first I’ve ever won–so I’m chuffed about that! 😀

I also broke down the story a bit for a post on my blog: About Another Leg.

I have signed up for writing battle and am actually excited for it. Wondering if there's anyone else doing the Feb Flash Fiction Contest.

Let's talk.
