Hello everyone!
As we mentioned previously, the submission call for our Haiku Anthology was our most successful to date. With almost 1,500 haiku received, we are sure that you can imagine how challenging the selection process must have been!
One thing that you may not know about us. We have a higher rate of acceptance than most publications, because we believe in giving a voice to as many creatives as possible. If your work is inspiring / uplifting, and (of course) follows our rules, we will do our best to include it in our anthologies.
That is the reason why, when we saw how many excellent haiku we would have to reject, we decided that one volume would not be enough. And in fact, we settled on three volumes, each of which will contain about 90 haiku!
Today, we would like to share the names of our featured contributors. Check out the list below.
