This is a chance for haiku writers, who have not yet published an individual collection, to be included in an exciting new venture. BHS members, Andrew Shimield and David Jacobs, are seeking to showcase 4 to 5 authors of outstanding merit in a single book, planned for publication in 2024.
Poets, who have not so far published a collection of their own work, are invited to submit 30-40 haiku/senryu (published or unpublished), from which the editors will select up to 30 haiku per successful author. There will be no submission fees, nor will the editors seek any contribution from the chosen authors towards editorial, printing costs or otherwise. Those included will each receive around 5–10 complimentary copies of the book (exact number to be determined).
The closing date for submissions is December 31, 2023. In the first instance, please send your work to David at davidjacobs2011@gmail.com, with BOOK VENTURE as the subject line, or by post to Andrew, at 18, Deepwell Close, Isleworth, Middlesex, TW7 5EN. Please use David's email for any enquiries.
