‘PoArtMo Anthology: Youth Edition (Volume 2)’: Cover Reveal!

As you can see, this year’s cover follows the same theme as the one we used for volume 1. We wanted something that says ‘young’, ‘inspired’, ‘creative’, and ‘inspiring’ at the same time.

What’s next for the PoArtMo Anthology: Youth Edition (Volume 2)?

We are almost done with formatting and editing. The manuscript should be ready to be uploaded to Draft2Digital for distribution very soon! If everything goes well, we will be able to announce a release date within the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, keep an eye on the blog, as we have a mini-series coming up. Several contributors to volume 2 will share what inspired the entries they submitted to us. All we can say is this: You should be impressed!

Last But Not Least…

Before we go, we would like to remind you that Auroras & Blossoms only releases digital copies (ebooks) of its anthologies. This allows us to keep our costs and book prices low, and avoid charging young participants for submitting to us.

Thank you for reading! See you very soon for more news.
