Call-out: expression of interest for editors of the 2023 FSP Anthology

Friendly Street Poets (FSP) has a wonderful opportunity for two volunteer editors for the next poetry anthology based on readings in 2023.

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 48th 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;
  • launching the book during the year.
