TWO International Publishing Opportunities ...

ONE MONTH LEFT: AESTHETICA CREATIVE WORKS COMPETITION

Dear Edward Parmenter

I hope you are well? There is just one month left for your writers to submit to the Aesthetica Creative Works Competition and I was hoping that you might be able to send a gentle reminder to your contacts at Australian Bush Poets' Society. It's a really great opportunity for established and aspiring writers to showcase their work to a wider, international audience!

We've also secured additional prizes from Vintage Books and Bloodaxe and the Poetry and Short Fiction winners will each receive a selection of recent publications from these leading publishers, in addition to publication of their own work in the Aesthetica Creative Works Annual and £500 prize money (apx. 780 AUD).

It would be brilliant if you could pass the details of the Creative Works Competition on to your writers and mailing lists - even just a quick tweet would be fantastic!

• Winners and finalists are published in the Aesthetica Creative Works Annual.
• One winner from each of the competition's three categories (Artwork, Poetry and Short Fiction) will receive £500 prize money (apx. 780 AUD).
• Entry to the Creative Works Competition is £10 (apx. 15 AUD) and this allows the submission of 2 images, 2 poems or 2 short stories.
• The deadline for submissions is the 31st August 2011.
• More guidelines on how to submit can be found online at http://www.aestheticamagazine.com/submission_guide.htm

Many thanks for your time and I hope that your members and writers will be interested in taking part in the Aesthetica Creative Works Competition this year!

Please do get in touch if you would like any further information about the competition at all.

Kindest regards

Bryony

Just a small word of caution. I do not know it the two previously mentioned publishers fall into this category but there are numerous scammers out there promising to publish poetry and writing and as many similar "for profit" poetry competitions. The promise to publish often comes with a hefty price tag attached or the promise of international fame.

I really suggest that anyone contemplating taking part in such events thoroughly check out those making the offers and give preference to recognised Australian poetry competitions and local publishers who offer to pay you for your work and not the other way around.
