Great looking cover for issue 3... ;)

Great looking cover for issue 3... ;)

Thanks, Mary.

Thanks, Mary.

I'll mention this to a few people, Phil!

2010-03-29T22:27:07.618+01:00

Missed this - sorry.

How about this: Daily life and work. Life in all its incarnations. Nature at its most stunning and its most cruel.

Plenty to go at there.

All other details are the submissions page of the website: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk/page3.html

Hi all - nice to know things are progressing, but.... it's hard to design a cover when you don't know the content/theme it's supposed to represent... gis a clue!

Sue

Me too!

Me too!

Looking forward to seeing Prole in print! Judi

Oh - we've had tabbed poetry. I don't understand that one - tab the whole lot to get all of it away from the margin.
All good - got there in the end - and Note Pad is a fantastic tool.

2010-02-16T20:20:08.747Z

Ah, the eternal complaint of the editor - submission blindness! I get this all the time for the mags and web sites that I edit. You can tell 'em over and over, "no formatting" and they will still send you loads of the formatting you don't want. I dump it all routinely into Notepad now. Copy and paste the plain text and then apply styles that I've set up within the publishing program / web editor. I don't rely on anyone's formatting, because my submitters all think in A4 and I am editing for A5! Think yourself lucky if you didn't get any tabbed columns :)

And that's why I thought of you, Mary. That an...

2010-02-15T11:45:01.904Z

And that's why I thought of you, Mary. That and: 'Prole aims to challenge, engage and entertain but never exclude.' Glad you liked that line anyway. The first draft wasn't quite so delicately put.

All the best,

Phil

2010-02-14T13:23:38.582Z

I love this line in your submissions section: 'Obscure references and highly stylized structures...that exist only to aggrandise the writer'. I can aggrandise with the best of them, but not with obscure references and highly stylized structures. If you hadn't told me about Prole and I'd read that line, I'd have been itching to submit something.

2010-02-09T17:42:49.092Z

Ah - to be announced. There are still a couple of cost items to finalise. I'm pretty certain a figure of between 5 and 6 pounds, plus postage.
There will be an option to buy via cheque and mail as well as by normal web methods. Unfortunately, the address and payment details will be on the web!

How much per sub, Mr Editor Sir? I would like to arrange for my mother to get a copy and she doesn't use t'interweb much.

It was quite a thrill! Thanks - me too. Phil

2010-01-18T23:20:37.242Z

It was quite a thrill!

Thanks - me too.

I've just visited your submissions site and have managed to answer that question myself.

2010-01-16T15:38:13.201Z

Hi Phil!

Could we maybe see a photo of the poetry editor first? That will help those of us who want to oblige him know whether we want to do this.

(Sorry, couldn't resist that. I'm now going to go through all my creative non-fiction to see if I have anything worthy of Bill Bryson admiration. Does it matter if what we submit has already been published on our blogs?

Creative non-fiction? Yeehaw!

This weekend I will be combing through my files.

This sounds great! Honestly, at this stage, even if all you pay me is attention, I'll be happy. And I'll definitely spread the word!
