How to use this site

Instructions for writers

How to email your poem

• Name your FILE (not your email) this way to keep things organized:
  • Lastname, Firstname - Month (you can can the poem title if you like)
    • Like this: "Smith, Jane - December" or "Smith, Jane - December - In Just Spring Again"
• Be sure to send your poem as an attachment, NOT in the body of your email. Only the attachment will be uploaded to the site.
• Send it to this address: promptproject2019@gmail.com
• It might take a day or so for David to upload your poem to the site.

How to read other people's poems

• To view everyone's poems, click the page links on the left for the month you want to see. (You might need to click the "hamburger" - the three horizontal lines - to have the list drop down so you can see it.)
• On that page you will see a document window with the poems inside. Click them!

Note

The reason to name your FILE "Lastname, Firstname - Month" is so people viewing it on the site know whose it is. If you want to include a title, that's fine, but we suggest you begin the filename with your LAST NAME (unless you dig anonymity).

It doesn't matter what subject line you use in your email. The name of the FILE is what gets listed on this site.

Please edit your work carefully. If you decide to revise it and upload a new version, both will appear on the site. Then David has to go in and manually delete one, or rename files, etc. This takes time away from him writing poems, cooking, the garden, etc.

Please note that this mailbox is infrequently monitored. If you need to get in touch with Kitty, please email her directly. Messages you include with the email attached to your poem may not be read.
