Collaborative Writing Opportunity--The Theme Team--Submission Guidelines Hosted by Jack Horne--England

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.

  1. Dear Jack,

    Thank 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,

  2. 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.
    Remind, 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
