YOU ARE A POET, A NOVELIST, A CREATIVE WRITER:  WELCOME !

JOHN KEATS

(1795-1821)

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

John Keats,

Endymion, Book 1

 “Nothing exists until or unless it is observed.

An artist is making something exist by observing it.

And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it.

I call it 'creative observation.'

Creative viewing.”

The ability of writers to imagine

what is not the self,

 to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar,

is the test of their power.

If there is a book you really want to read

but it hasn’t been written yet,

then you must write it.

 YOU WISH YOU COULD BE PUBLISHED: HERE ARE THE MANDATORY STEPS.

• Table of Contents.
• Synopsis.
• Sample pages or chapter.
• A short Resume or Curriculum Vitae that includes experience you have with writing, ranging from previously published novels to creative writing workshops.
• Two references whom we will contact [persons in the field of Creative Writing or English who could write POSITIVELY on your project].

 We accept these materials sent via postal mail, or email. Email should contain an introductory message in addition to attached materials.  To avoid virus attack we will not open an attached document that does not come with a letter of presentation of the author within the email message.
