A quick update about our Haiku Anthology, whose submission period closed yesterday.
We are delighted to announce that our submission call was a resounding success. Over 260 talented poets sent us almost 1,500 haiku! 😱 😍
While we have already sent congratulatory emails to several contributors, we still have many haiku to read. As such, we ask for your patience.
Please, do not email us to ask for a publication date. We don’t know when it is yet. We first have to wait for all selected poets to confirm their interest in being in our anthology. We will only be able to start working on the manuscript when that step is complete.
We will be back with an update for you around the third week of June. So watch this space. 😉
We are delighted to announce the release of the PoArtMo Anthology: Youth Edition (Volume 2)!
The PoArtMo Anthology: Youth Edition is a yearly publication that celebrates inspirational / uplifting young writers from around the world. Participants are between 13 and 16 years old.
Volume 2 features contributions from 24 creatives. Their names are included below:
Please note that we only release digital copies (ebooks) of our anthologies. This allows us to keep our costs and book prices low, and to avoid charging young participants for submitting to us.
We also do not distribute our anthologies to Amazon, because the company has a zero-tolerance policy towards non-original content. If something is available on the Internet (and social media), we cannot use it in a paid ebook. Why? Answers here and here.

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!
