2017 Poetry Winner. Great way to start the New Year. I submitted a short poem in the middle of December 2015 to the 8th annual “Poetry on the Move” contest in San Antonio. Out of 266 entries, my poem was one of 12 selected. My poem and that of the other winners will be printed on interior cards that will be placed in all our city buses and vans for the month of April 2017 for passengers to enjoy. An artist will interpret each poem that will be displayed on the buses. Isn’t that cool? Take a leap of faith and enter either a writing contest or a poetry contest. You never know.

Here’s an interesting post, “Editors at the top – 7 sentences with Anne Schwartz,” on the Picture Book Builders blog. This one of a four-part series interviewing editors that run their own imprints. The second one is with Neal Porter, founder of Neal Porter Books, an imprint of Roaring Brook (Macmillan). Enjoy.
Wishing you a Happy New Year and success in your writing!
Words have weight, sound and appearance; it is only by considering these that you can write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to. – W. Somerset Maugham
