Call for submissions for Anthology project for The Vanished Children's Alliance

Poetic-License and Writers&Poets, have started putting together our next project that will sponsor another worthy charity. 'The Vanished Children's Alliance' is the charity we want to put an anthology of poetry together for, with all royalties going to that charity.

The Vanished Children's Alliance is the oldest and second largest missing children's organization in the United States, and has been providing for the prevention, location, recovery and reunification of missing and abducted children since 1980.

Here is where submissions come in; we are calling for poets to submit poetry for the book.

Poets and poetry that are chosen, from these submissions, will not receive any money for their work, or other type of compensation, what you agree to do is donate your work, if it is picked, to 'The Vanished Children's Alliance Anthology.'

Due to limited space in the book, not all poets and their poems who submit will be able to be picked, or be included, in the Anthology. If you are picked, we will ask that you sign a form agreeing to the use of your work and that you agree that no funds, or compensation will come to you for the publishing of your poetry in the Anthology.

How to submit;

Accepting submissions from July 15 to September 1 of 2007.

Place your full name, poetry (3 to 5 poems) and short bio in a plain text format,

in the body of an email to bflorea@comcast.net , place in the subject line 'Poetry Submission for The Vanished Children's Alliance'

If your work is chosen, we will contact you, if it isn't chosen, we won't be able to reply to you, but we will place a list of poets and the titles of their poetry on my myspace website(Bonnie Florea) and Robin Stansbury's myspace website, in our blog section, after all submissions have been chosen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The purpose of making this book is to bring awareness to Vanished Children's Alliance and to provide funds from the book to donate to this organization that is dedicated to helping to find missing children in America.

I never heard any more about this project. Is there a link to it.

Cherley that sounds like a good poem. Sure take your time and tweak your poem and if you have others you'd like to submit you have time. All submissions have to be in by midnight of Sept 1. We have to get the manuscript ready for the publisher by October 1.

I've written a poem, but I will post it on here for some feed back to see how it seems to everyone else and how I can improve it. The title is: Hold Your Children Near

At this point, there isn't a theme. Basically, we are looking at this Anthology as a regular collection of good poetry, with the only acceptation of not having poetry that is too erotic or to dark in nature.

I think this is a very worthy cause and I'll try to work on one as soon as I get a chance. Do you know if there will a theme to the anthology? That always helps. Should it maybe be about missing children? I know it says any kind, but sometimes after an anthology gets a few submissions they settle on a theme.
