WinningWriters Offers Free Poetry Anthology Opportunity

I recommend this anthology opportunity on several levels, but it meets one of my favorite #TheFrugalBookPromoterTips: That is, don’t ever pay for reviews of your book or to submit for anthologies. Have you seen the “offer” going around that promised the anthology will make The New York Times best-seller list?   It’s about ethics.  This one comes to you from WinningWriters.com, a trusted venue. And my associate on TheNewBookReview@blogspot.com sponsors a beautiful series of anthologies. A tab at the top of the home page of that review site gives you more info about her (Lois W. Stern) and her other #AuthorsHelpingAuthors projects.  Do yourself a favor. Go through them all and make time to participate in what she offers.  

Winning Writers will publish a digital anthology of the selected poems. Submit by April 30. No fee. Submit an original poem that makes creative use of the words that the Trump administration is flagging on government websites and research papers. See the list (PDF). There is no fee to enter. Final judge: Jendi Reiter.   We strongly prefer unpublished work that was written for this anthology rather than older poems that happen to include some of the keywords.   Poems may be on any topic, but one or more of the keywords should play a significant role in the structure or contents (e.g., a sestina with six of the keywords as the repeating end-words). Satire is welcome.   No restriction on age or nationality of author. The primary language of the poem should be English. No AI-generated work.   Everyone who enters this contest will receive an electronic copy of the anthology on June 30, and it will be made available free to the public. There is no other compensation, just notoriety and justice.   If your submission is selected for publication, you agree to give Winning Writers a nonexclusive license to publish your work online with attribution (you may use a pen name). You retain all other rights. You are free, for example, to publish your work in print or online elsewhere, whether or not you are selected for publication in this anthology.   Please submit online via Submittable.   If you need help, please email info@winningwriters.com.
