Call of Submissions for 'Atoms of Haiku'

Atoms of Haiku

After the success of our two anthologies, Author’s United is proud to announce call for submissions of our latest project – ‘Atoms of Haiku’. As apparent from the name, Author’s United is adding another dimension to their portfolio by publishing an entire anthology of Haiku, a Japanese form of micro-poetry. To know more about Author’s United – please visit our official Fb page (https://www.facebook.com/authorsunited) and you can also visit our blog (http://authorunited.blogspot.com). Our ‘Atoms of Haiku’ will be published in both Paperback and Kindle format.

                                                                      

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: 

1.) We are only accepting Haiku (up to 15) for ‘Atoms of Haiku’. Please do not send senryu, haiga, hokku, haibun and tanka. Unpublished means we are accepting haiku that is not submitted to any other blog or journal or Facebook pages/ groups or haiku contests or on personal websites. If your haiku is under consideration – please do not send it to us.

2.)  We are not adhering to “traditional” 5–7–5–syllable format. We would love to accept modern haiku, contemporary haiku and traditional haiku of 5-7-5 as well.

3.)  Your submission must include your bio. We would not accept links to your Amazon Author Profile, blogs or FB pages as paperback format does not support the links. Please write a bio without the links.

4.) Send your email to 'authorsunited786@gmail.com' and 'authorsunited786@yahoo.com' (in cc) with “AU Haiku Submission - <Your Name>” in the Subject line. Do mention your name, state and country in your Haiku submission.

5.)   We will accept email with an attachment. Please do not send your submissions as a part of the body of the e-mail. Also your bio should be a separate attached file but in the same e-mail.

6.)  In case, any change is required we will revert the submission to the author before making any changes.

7.)  The authors will hold the publishing rights of their work after the anthology is published. But the author must give us the credit if the haiku is re-submitted. An author cannot submit the Haiku to any other blog/journal/contest until the anthology is published.

8.) The anthology will be published using Amazon - CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in both “Paper Back” and “Kindle Version”.
