United Press' Young Poets of 2011 Anthology

Deadline: 31 January 2011

United Press discovered many talented young poets with their book Poets of the Year 2010. The search is now on again to find young poets for their forthcoming book, Young Poets of 2011.

“Anyone under 16 can submit a collection of up to ten of their poems,” said Peter Quinn, editor of the forthcoming book.

“It’s free to enter and the poets we choose - around 20 - will be featured in the book along with a profile of themselves, their photograph and a collection of their work. Each successful poet will receive 5 copies of the book.

“The aim of the book is to encourage young people to get more involved in poetry. We had some wonderful entries last year and we hope for even more this year.”

If you want to submit something all you have to do is send your collection of poetry along with a head and shoulders photograph plus a 100 word profile of yourself to: Young Poets of 2011, United Press, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB by the closing date of 31st January 2011.
