Issue 4 update

The royalty period for Prole 4 is still open and we have already met our targets to start paying our contributors for the third issue running. We've managed this with no funding. We rely solely on our paying readers. Thank you very much - especially to those readers who subscribe and our writers who donate their share of royalties back into the future success of Prole.

Editorial

The next Prole editorial is next week so get your submissions in as soon as possible for a crack at publication in issue 5. Submissions will remain open after that time for issue three. Don't forget the Prolitzer Prize prose competition. As ever, all details on the website www.prolebooks.co.uk

Artwork

Prole is looking for cover artwork. Details are on the website: subs page. Briefly, we’re after striking images that show some aspect of humanity. Previous covers can be viewed on the purchase page. If you are interested in providing cover art for the two poetry pamphlets we are publishing, please email us at admin@prolebooks.co.uk for details. Artwork accepted for the pamphlets will earn a small one-off fee.

Poetry pamphlets

After four successful issues, Prole is branching out and publishing two poetry pamphlets. The pamphlets, due out around November, are by two well published and respected poets. We're excited to be working them. Watch this space for more details.
