In Celebration of the Muse
Events
If you are a woman writer residing in Santa Cruz county and would like to be considered for the 30th annual In Celebration of the Muse reading, which is planned for March 10, 2012 at 7:30 pm in the Cabrillo College Crocker Theater, please send five poems, prose poems, or two fiction or non-fiction short shorts to the address below between August 1st and August 31st, 2011.  (Postmark must be no later than August 31.  No Exceptions.

You do not necessarily have to read what you submit, but do keep in mind that the total amount of time on stage is five minutes. (We prefer that you not read an excerpt from a longer work.)

We are committed to the celebration of diversity with regard to age, race, sexual orientation, and the range of complexities that make up women’s lives.  We include a variety of women’s voices and are committed to including new writers each year.

We are looking for original perspectives, fresh language, and work that appeals to an audience.  All work should be edited, polished and free from typographical errors.  Each submission will be considered on the strength of all five poems or prose pieces.

Please keep in mind that each year many women submit work for the Muse (last year we had around 100 submissions) and we select the most compelling, vibrant and evocative writing.

Do not email submissions, but do include your email address. The work will not be returned so no need to include an SASE.  Readers will be announced in November; all who submitted work will be notified via email.

Send submissions to:

Amber Coverdale Sumrall
Dena Taylor
841 Laurel Glen Rd.
Soquel, CA 95073
