New Poetry Contest Opportunity!!!  (posted July 16, 2019)

Hi there WyoPoets (and visitors...),
One of the many benefits of being a WyoPoet member is receiving notice of upcoming - and legitimate - poetry contests.  We've all been burned by some bogus contest which takes our money and never responds...

Anyway, here's a great opportunity from our friends in the Illinois State Poetry Society.  Deadline is November 1, 2019. 
Hit the link below for more information.  Good luck!

WYOPOETS - -  NEW FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY!!!

OPEN America has announced the opening of the 2020 Emerging Voices Fellowship application. The Emerging Voices Fellowship is a literary mentorship that aims to provide underrepresented writers who are isolated from the literary establishment with the tools, skills, and knowledge they need to launch a professional writing career. 
 
Five fellows will receive a stipend of $1000 along with:
Guidance from a professional mentor and written notes on their current writing project.
Writing life and craft tips from notable visiting authors. UCLA Extension Writers’ Program classes.
Genre specific master classes.   AND MUCH MORE!!!
The application is open until August 1, 2019. 

WYOPOETS!!
Did you miss it?  The June 25th deadline for the July newsletter?? 
Dang it!
Mark the new deadline on your calendar, Sept. 25th for the November 2019 issue!  Then go sharpen that quill and keep writing!

WHERE DID THAT GO??

You may have noticed some changes to the WyoPoets website.  As much as we all (sigh) dislike change, this is a good thing!

Here's one modification that should reduce confusion.  Information about these three contests: (1) Members Only Chapbook, (2) Members Only Poetry Contest and (3) Shea National Poetry contest was all compiled under one tab.  They now each have their own little nest and reside under the tab entitled, "Contests" (see above drop down menu). 

If you want to know how to purchase a Chapbook, just hit the "Contests" tab.  VOILA!  You'll see a drop down tab that has all the pertinent info. on past Chapbooks, their cost and mailing expense. 

(Submitting to the upcoming chapbook currently has its own tab, but this, of course, could change.)  Clear as mud?? Great! You're welcome.
