SPN roadshow kicks off in Sydney on March 5th: Publishing Insider

As part of the Small Press Network’s suite of member services in 2013 we are running a roadshow of 13 events across Australia – the first one is about to kick off!

The Red Room Company: [28.09.2012]

Thanks to an incredible show of support by our friends, The Red Room Company raised over $5000 to map Australia with poetry. Now, we’re seeking poems about places all around Australia for a nation-wide edition of our innovative new app, The Disappearing

We’re looking for new poems that explore everything that vanishes: buildings, ideas, people and places. To participate, send us a new poem about something in the process of disappearing, and tell us about the place that inspired it. We pay $80 for every poem published.

Send us a single word document with:

– a previously unpublished poem – a 50-100 word description of the place that inspired it – a gps location, address or the name of that place – a short bio and your contact details

Because Sydney is already extensively mapped, we’ll be preferencing poems about places elsewhere in Australia. And, if you’ve already submitted to the Sydney round, we want to hear from you again!

Email your submissions to disappearing@redroomcompany.org
