ebook, anyone?

Wondering how many of you out there would like to see Prole available for ebook - and if so, what formats do you use?

Add to our agenda

The editors meet up in a couple of weeks for some serious Proling. Now is your opportunity to have something placed on our agenda. If you think there's something we could do better, do more of, less of - or you just want to tell us we're doing a great job as we are, post it here and we promise to discuss it over a few glasses.

Contact Anti-Slavery

Thank you to all our readers who made a donation to Anti-Slavery International when you purchased a copy of Prole. ASI would love to contact you from time to time.

Issue 7 is still on sale and you can make a donation to Anti-Slavery International when you buy a copy. We will match that donation: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk/page5.html

Reviews for Nan Hardwicke

Some lovely reviews for Wendy Pratt’s Nan Harwicke Turns into a Hare.

Wyn Weldon’s thought through and insightful piece here: http://www.wynnwheldon.com/2012/05/nan-hardwicke-turns-into-hare-by-wendy.html

And three reviews at Sphinx, here: http://www.sphinxreview.co.uk/pamphlet-reviews/2012/61-sphinx-20-2012/510-nan-hardwicke-turns-into-a-harewendy-pratt

We particularly like the last by DA Prince as it really gets to the centre of the work.

Thank you Wyn, and the good people at Sphinx.

Nan Harwicke Turns into a Hare is available here: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk/page10.html

Close to Home, Michael Crowley

Prolebooks has just released its third short poetry collection. In his debut collection , Close to Home, poet and playwright, Michael Crowley, brings together three separate lives to create one existence in a collection that explores a displaced childhood, misplaced adults and the private moments that map a life.

This pamphlet is an invitation to experience life elsewhere, in another skin.
