The proposed publication date is June 7, 2016, Prince’s birthday.
IF YOU PLAN TO SEND A SUBMISSION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES AND ADHERE TO THEM RELIGIOUSLY.
I work full-time, twelve-hour days and I don’t have a lot of extra time. In order to get this book out by June 7, I must be able to access and read the submitted poems quickly. Failure to follow these simple directions will result in my not reading your submission.
1. In the subject line of the email, please put SUBMISSION PRINCE and your last name. For instance, if John Burroughs were to submit a poem, he would put SUBMISSION PRINCE BURROUGHS.
2. Send one or two poems about Prince, his music, his influence, or his artistry in a single Word document. Poems must stick to the theme. No more than two poems, please.
3. Attach the Word document to the email, and send to nightballetpress@gmail.com.
4. Deadline for submissions is MAY 24, 2016. That gives you 4 weeks to get them to me, and it gives me 2 weeks to get the book formatted for publication. I will not read any submissions after the deadline.
5. Please do not send me the poems on Facebook. Please do not snail mail the poems. Please do not send the poems to any other of my emails. Please do not fail to put SUBMISSION PRINCE and your name in the subject line of the email. This is the only way I will find the submissions.
This is an open call, which means anyone and everyone is invited to submit poems. If your poem is chosen for inclusion in the anthology, you will receive a free contributor's copy. (Please note—if your poem is chosen and you live outside the U.S., mailing costs for the press are very prohibitive. NBP will send you a PDF of the completed book.)

So I'm thinking, I have a lot of artist friends who don't write poetry...why don't I bring them into this project, too?

This is an open call for submissions of cover art for the Prince tribute anthology Delirious, due to be released on June 7, 2016. The same guidelines apply: send your work to www.nightballetpress.com with the heading SUBMISSION PRINCE (your last name). Attach your Word doc. files or jpegs. to the email. No pdf files, please. I prefer a head shot of Prince, but I'm open to whatever artistic vision about Prince that you may have. DEADLINE IS FIRM: MAY 24, 2016. If your cover art is chosen, you will receive a free contributor's copy (or, if outside the U.S., a pdf of the completed book).
Please submit your Prince poems! Send me your Prince art! Tell your friends! Spread the word!
