[New-Poetry] microfiction/prose poetry

[Anny Ballardini]

   - From Cinnamon Press:

   - *Call for submissions for new anthology of microfiction/prose poetry *

We are looking for pieces of microfiction, sometimes called short short
fiction or flash fiction, and pieces of prose poetry that tell a story in
under 600 words. There is no minimum word limit.

Microfiction and prose poetry are very short prose pieces that harness a
poetic world but still contain a story with a beginning, middle and end, and
imply a lot more than their small structure can contain. They are flashes of
something – an epiphany, perhaps – that often subvert expectation and work
in a minimal structure. Some argue that there is a definitive boundary
between prose poetry and microfiction, but you may submit either for this
publication.

You may submit as many pieces as you wish, and those chosen will appear in a
new Cinnamon microfiction and prose anthology to be published in late 2010,
co-edited by Holly Howitt and Jan Fortune-Wood.

*Submission Guidelines *

*Please read these carefully. Due to the large volume of submissions
expected we will only be able to process those submissions that conform to
the guidelines.*

The deadline for submissions is: 15th August 2009

Each piece must be no longer than 600 words. There is no minimum length.

Pieces can be on any subject and you may send several pieces, but please
submit them as a single word attachment using a .doc or .rtf format

Submit pieces to both Holly Howitt - Holly Howitt -
cinnamonanthology at googlemail.com and Jan Fortune-Wood –
jan at cinnamonpress.com with ‘microfiction anthology’ in the subject line.

In the body of the email please type your name and location.

Submissions without virus protection will not be opened and read so please
ensure your virus protection is up to date.

We hope to inform everyone who has sent a submission of which pieces will be
included by late November 2009. Please ensure that you inform us if your
email address changes after sending the submission.

The decisions of the editors are final.

All those whose work is selected will receive a copy of the anthology.
