Airlie Press announces a call for book-length poetry manuscripts www.airliepress.org

Deadline: September 15, 2009

For more information about Airlie Press, go to www.airliepress.org

We are a nonprofit poetry collective founded in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. A shared-work, consensus based group, our profits go toward the production of new books of poetry. We are seeking manuscript submissions from poets who live within a reasonable driving distance from the Monmouth area, where the press’ business is conducted.

Authors whose manuscripts are selected by Airlie Press must commit to responsibilities of the collective for a period of three years, including attending monthly meetings, and contributing at least ten hours a month to the collective-related work of editing, book production, and promotion. Authors’ books will be published during the second year of their commitment to Airlie Press, and will involve more time commitment from the authors. Authors have final say regarding the content and presentation of their books. All book profits will be returned to the collective.
