It’s time to find two new editors for the next FSP members’ anthology.

This will be Volume #42, containing poems submitted by FSP members at FSP events in 2017, to be published by FSP in 2018.

The primary task of the editors is to select the poems and get them ready for print-production. Basic word-processing and email skills are essential. Assistance will be available for the preparation of the final print-ready text and cover.

Editors need to be current financial members of FSP. There is a small remuneration for each editor.
