In an effort to
increase opportunities for writers, Whispers is offering a new
opportunity for collaborative poetry. The name for this opportunity is, The
Theme Team. Since this a new opportunity for publication
feel free to contact Jack at jack-marcus@outlook.com
if you have any suggestions.
1. Two or more
writers may collaborate to submit poems for consideration to be featured our
online journal.
2. If you are
interested in partnering with another writer, please contact your Collaborative
Poem Editor at his email address below. You will be given a theme.
3. Preferred method
of submission is to send your poem in the body of an email with your name and
country. Please email your partnered submission to Jack
at jack-marcus@outlook.com If you would rather submit by
snail mail, please email me for my home address. You may email me with any
questions you may have.
4. Submissions to The Theme Team will be NEW WORK since
a topic will be assigned for each partnership to work on together. Please do
not send quotes from others unless they are in the context of the piece
submitted and that the original author is given credit.
5. The total
line-count of partnered poems should not exceed 40 lines. Writers should use
the same form.
6. There is no
submissions deadline. Take your time and enjoy the collaborative experience.
7. No profanity,
erotica, violence or other derogatory writing will be accepted.
8. Whispers’ reserves
the right to select poetry based on the goal stated at the end of the
guidelines.
9. Spiritual
poetry is welcomed but the editor would like to have a variety of pieces that
will uplift and inspire readers. Humor is appreciated.
10. Poetry will be
published along the left margin for consistency. Please keep that in mind
when submitting.
I hope you enjoy
this opportunity to experience the joy of writing with others.

Dear Jack,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this collaborative opportunity for our poetry community/journal to grow. It is fun to write with others. My challenge to all our writers to give this a try. For me, it is always an enriching experience.
Blessings,
Karen
At first I was a little hesitant writing with another poet but once I decided to give it a try, I found out it was challenging and fun.
ReplyDeleteRemind, all poets, writing must be fun! Especially, every writer has her/his own style it will result in the most beautiful creations.
I hope the poets of the Whispers family (and new contributors) will considere this opportunity to paint collaborative pictures with words.
Best wishes,
Inge
Dear Inge,
ReplyDeleteI heartily agree with you. Writing with others expands one's horizons and is fun too. I hope writers will take advantage of Jack's opportunity.
Blessings,
Karen
