new haibun editor @ NFTG

[colin stewart jones]

I am pleased to announce that Richard Krawiec, USA
will be the new haibun editor at Notes from the Gean

As some of you may already know, Richard is widely published,
he has a degree in creative writing and teaches an advanced fiction course
and will bring his own aesthetic to haibun and to NFTG

NFTG's site is currently undergoing redevelopment and Richard's details will be up very soon
and he will be accepting submissions for our December issue
as soon as the new look NTFG makes her debut on the web

I will still be acting as haibun editor for the September issue
and will be happy to accept submissions until September 14th
In particular I am keen to read more longer works, serial haibun and collaboration haibun

ALL NTFG submissions will close on September 14th
which will enable us to get NFTG out to our subscribers by late September

I apologise for us being late with this issue
but there has to be a first time for everything!

The Sound of Poets Cooking (recipes, haiku and tanka etc...) also garnered several favourable reviews, and it was a pretty large and successful book tour too! ;-)

Anyone wanting my praised recipe can order direct from Richard. ;-)

Here's my blog post before I lost count of the tour venues and dates! ;-)
