Stocked!

Prole is now available in Sweetens independent bookshop, Deansgate, Bolton: a friendly, well stocked (and clearly forward thinking) establishment. http://www.sweetensforbooks.co.uk/index.html

Editorial

Mid February editorial being enjoyed by all. Catering by prose ed's wife is stupendous. Looking forward to finalising issue 4 and other Proley activities. Keep the subs coming in.

Nearly there for #4

Content is being finalised for issue 4 but there are still slots available for both poetry and prose. We are also open for submissions for issue 5.

Another review

Prole, issue 3 has been reviewed by Laura McDonald at the Neon Magazine website. We're thrilled with this one. The review can be accessed here. The Neon website is also well worth exploring while you're there.

The Prole year

At a recent editorial we mapped out the Prole year. (Subject to change – but we’re going to try to stick to this.)
Issues published in April, August, November.
Poetry competition open from November to February, winners announced in April.
Prose competition open from April to September, winners announced in November.
Open to submissions year round.
Thank you to all those who have supported us in our first year.

Edgar

One of our writers, Stephen Ross (The Devil’s Piano Player and Clocks Without Hands), has been nominated for the prestigious Edgar Award for short stories. ‘Monsieur Alice is Absent’ appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine in October. Many congratulations and good luck. The winners are announced on 28th April. Stephen’s site can be accessed here: http://www.stephenross.net/

Call for cover art

We are actively looking for artwork to use for covers. We've been thrilled with our last two covers and would like to maintain the human interest theme. Those covers and details about how to submit can be found on the website. We remain open to submissions of poetry and prose. www.prolebooks.co.uk
