Friendly Street Poets (FSP) has a wonderful opportunity for two volunteer editors for the next poetry anthology based on readings in 2021 but you’ll need to act quickly.
Since its beginnings in 1975, FSP has consistently brought the work of both established and developing writers to a keen readership. The new annual anthology will be the 46th in our proud history.
The positions involve the editors:
- attending the monthly (Feb to Dec) readings at the Box Factory in the Adelaide CBD;
- selecting a Poem of the Month from poems submitted, which will appear on our website — and deciding on Honourable Mentions where warranted;
- determining poems for inclusion in the anthology;
- corresponding with the successful poets, gathering bio information, etc.;
- writing an introduction for the book;
- organising cover design, layout, etc.;
- liaising with the printers; and,
- launching the book during the year.
Editors need to be current financial members of FSP.
Each editor will receive an Honorarium of $200.
All you have to do now is fill out the form below to send a supporting statement of about one page to the FSP Committee by 31st December 2020 that explains your interest and your literary background. The statement would normally include such things as your previous publishing history and any prior editing experience.
You can apply singly or as part of a pair. If applying as a pair, you need only make one joint submission.
The FSP committee will then consider all applications and announce the lucky new editors!
Applications close 31st December 2020.
