San Diego Poetry Annual‏

Here is an email I got from the coordinator of the San Diego Poetry Annual.
It is, as you would guess, an annual publication that publishes the best local poetry. They welcome contributions from Temecula. I contacted Mr. Harding to find out about submission guidelines. This was his reply.

Bethany --There are no taboos, no limitations. We'd like the poems to be written this year and previously unpublished, but we do make exceptions on that. Since we'd like to publish as many poets as possible, we do ask for poems that are not overly long, but we do publish those, too. Whatever is really good will make the grade, regardless of subject or length.We'll shut down submissions in December, so have your poets submit directly to this e-mail address by then to be considered. Many thanks, Bill Harding

Direct submissions to: gardenoakpress@earthlink.net. We hope to make this the largest and best edition yet. More info is available on our website http://www.sandiegopoetryannual.com/.
I am excited to see some of our Temecula writers in this publication.
Hello Writers,
It is embarassing to see the last time I updated this blog. I am sorry. The waves of economic distress, family complications, and the careening real-estate market conspired together to knock me down flat.
I appreciate the patience of those of you who are involved in the Temecula Writers Cafe. I hope all is going well for all of you. I will be updating and cleaning up the links on this site, and hopefully your patience will be rewarded with a place online that Southwest Riverside County writers can come together for inspiration, information, and support.
Happy writing
Bethany
