Cover design

Prole is now open for submissions of cover design. For details on this and anything else Prole related, please visit our website: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk

Gone to print

Our shiny new ISSN has arrived and Issue 1 has been sent to print. Assuming all goes well (no major hitches as yet) a release date will be announced soon.
Thank you for all submissions and messages of support. We are now reading for Issue 2 and welcome submissions for that. For full details visit: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk

Exciting times

Exciting times at Prole. Content for issue one has been finalised and just as soon as our shiny new ISSN arrives we’ll be going to print. (Why does that take at least thirty days?) We aim to publish during May. Details will follow.
We remain open for submissions for Issue 2. Please note, submission guidelines have changed and we no longer accept reprints or simultaneous submissions. What hasn’t changed is the way we’d like submissions to be formatted. I assume our contributors are a literate bunch and it does clearly set out on our website how we’d like text presented. That being the case, why was it that about 70% of submissions did not follow guidelines, leading to a lot of extra work and swearing when setting up the final proof?
It may interest you to know that we are open to a small number of advertisements to be placed in Issue 1 and also on the website. ‘Subtle’ and ‘advertising’ are not easy bed-fellows, but please don’t ask for something spread across the cover or homepage – that isn’t going to happen.
As ever, for full details about everything, visit the website: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk

Getting ready for issue 1

A big thank you to all those who submitted work to Prole for issue 1. We've had a very healthy number of submissions and an entertaining range of work to read. Remaining offers and notifications should be sent out soon as content is almost finalised. We remain open to submissions for issue 2. We hope to go to print within the next month, so keep an eye on the website for details about purchasing. As ever: www.prolebooks.co.uk

Going well

The first issue of Prole, Poetry and Prose is coming together well. We are very impressed with the quality of work received and would like to thank those who have submitted so far. We initially had a publication date of June in mind. As things are going well, that may well be brought forward so long as submissions of the current quality continue to come in.
As ever: for information about the submissions process, please visit: http://www.prolebooks.co.uk/

A great week for Prole

Best news of the week: we’ve had a message of support from Bill Bryson. Yes, that Bill Bryson.
Submissions continue to come in and there have been some excellent examples of poetry and prose. A good portion of our content is firming up. We are still open to further submissions of all forms of poetry and prose but would particularly like to see examples of: nonfiction - biographical, autobiographical, historical, travel. We would also like to see more humour. A combination of the two would get us really excited. As ever: visit http://www.prolebooks.co.uk for full information.
