Summer Open Reading Period Closing on Monday, 6/30, July Workshops with Editor Han VanderHart, and a Donation Link

Dear writers—we have been receiving such great poetry manuscripts in our inbox, and wanted to let you know you have 5 days left to send us yours to read! Guidelines and link here: https://riverriverbooks.org/editors/submissions/ We read everything we receive, and it’s a tip-jar option, so no fee necessary (and we mean that!).

We also wanted to remind you that Han has space in their July 5 and July 19 workshop Finding Shape in the Dark: on writing difficult narratives (all donation proceeds go to River River), and if you want to problem-solve narrative complexity with a warm group of folks, there is no better opportunity.

LASTLY. It is a lean summer for small, independent presses. We are a not-for-profit press, and have a big year ahead, with seven books of poetry forthcoming between the fall and the spring, and two titles in our new Plainwater Nonfiction Series. If you’d like to give to literature and the arts this summer, we have a donation link, and deeply appreciate your support!

Warmly,

Han & Amorak
