Dandelion in a Vase of Roses, poetry anthology is breaking at the seams, 98 poets, 326 pages, representing 37 different countries and republics from all over the world.  It is large 8 ½” x 11" large font size 14 for easy reading, poet photos and many illustrative pictures.  It is a loaded anthology combining the best in professional contemporary poets of this day along with new emerging artistic poets.  Inside its covers is a combination of Pushcart nominees, winners, Best of the Net such as chief editor Michael Lee Johnson, Janet Kuypers, A.J. Huffman, Joan McNerney, Gary Beck, Joanna M. Weston, Scott Thomas Outlar, Amy S. Pacini, Sandy Sue Benitez, and co-editor Ken Allan Dronsfield and many others.  Many of these poets are editors, and publishers themselves.   I’m very proud to say most published in this book come from my Facebook poetry group with nearly 12,650 members as of this printing:  https://www.facebook.com/ groups/807679459328998/.  Some started in this group of writers and poets lacking confidence and have since gone on to establish their own writing credentials, some now have their own poetry books for sale, some now are editors or co-editors of other small press publication in print and online.  Some in this anthology were also published in the highly successful Moonlight Dreamers of Yellow Haze anthology: http://www.amazon.com/dp/ 1530456762.  To be in tone with the best contemporary poets of the day Dandelion in a Vase of Roses is must buy now!

This anthology, wonderful covers, incredible talent, makes the perfect addition to your personal library, coffee table, or given as a special gift.

Do not forget after reading this anthology to submit your customer review on this link.

  The details for SPONSORING a WRITING contest are as follows:

 

You can name the contest after yourself or whomever you want to honor.  The entries will be mailed to me at CONCEIT MAGAZINE, and I will snail mail them to you WITHOUT the names and addresses when the contest ends.  YOU provide the prize money and pay the winners. YOU will be the judge and let me know who won the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes, etc., and I will send you the names and addresses to you to pay the winners.

 

I will charge an entry fee for manuscripts entered per writer that will go into the stipend fund for postage to send out contributor's copies of our magazines and digests – and for office supplies.

 

You can choose the month you want for your contest. For example, one writer chose the month of his birthday. You can choose a theme - love, childhood memory, Christmas, etc. However, the theme is optional and/or let the writers write whatever they want and/or submit whatever they already have.

 

I will make the contest flyer for you to approve and will mail it out to the CM database. Also, you are encouraged to distribute the flyer to writers you know to help make the contest a success.

 

We like to have more than 3 winners per contest, but the choice is yours.

 

Prizes are as follows - your choice:

 

1.  60.00, 50.00, 40.00, 30.00, 20.00, 10.00 for a total of 6 winners = $210.00

 

2.  30.00, 25.00, 20.00, 15.00, 10.00, 5.00 for a total of 6 winners = $105.00

 

3.  50.00, 30.00, 20.00 for a total of 3 winners = $100.00

 

4.  25.00, 20.00, 15.00, 10.00, 5.00 for a total of 5 winners = $75.00

 

5.  30.00, 20.00, 10.00 for a total of 3 winners = $60.00

 

6.  20.00, 15.00, 10.00, 5.00 for a total of 4 winners = $50.00

 

Again, the choice is yours. Please let me know.

 

Hope to hear from you again soon.

 

Peace,  Perry

 P.S. If it is easier for you, after you choose the winners, you can send the prize funds to me, Perry, and I will send the rewards to the winners on your behalf. Again – your choice.
