Instructions for submitting to our 2012 'River of Stones' anthology

Kaspa & I will be putting together an anthology of small stones from this year's river.

We'd love to have a submission from everyone who took part - do send us your small stones whether or not you think they'll be included in the book.

As last time this collection will be edited by me & Kaspa - we'll choose the small stones that resonate most with us.

Look at the last collection here (pictured) for an idea of what we're looking for.

Here are the instructions:

Email up to FIVE small stones and your name as you'd like to be included in the book to kaspa@writingourwayhome.com with the subject 'river book'.

Submissions will close on Sunday the 19th of February.

We won't be acknowledging receipt, but we'll let you know whether your small stone will be included or not by the end of March. If you haven't from us either way by then do let us know and resend your submission.

All contributors will receive a free PDF of the finished book as a thank you.

We look forward to reading them very much.

This is exciting! I will definitely "get on the stick" and submit some of mine. It was such a wonderful practice and really inspired a lot of my "offline" writing last month. Thank you for that.

I would like to submit some of mine, too. I know I will have to cull them out, but that will be exciting as well. Thanks!

This challenge has not only brought poetry into my life for the first time, but also a great community and tons of inspiration. I cannot wait to see what stones end up in the book. A fabulous idea. Looking forward to the finished book.

Much love...

How exciting! This exercise has been great for me as I've never written anything like it before and I still look around daily for my "small stone"

it has been a really interesting experience, and I will keep writing stones on and off I am sure. Thank you so much for so much writing encouragement.
