LARGEST
ANTHOLOGY CALL
IN CFP HISTORY |
| |
|
I
just wanted to let everyone know in March we will be changing our internal ezine
database and updating it to a more sophisticated system, to make communication
more frequent, and easier. When this happens, an email will be sent to
you, that welcomes you - this will let you know that your record has been moved
over.
The new system will allow us to handle multiple types of lists for
different levels such as CFP members, ezine subscribers, Poetry Canada PDF
subscribers, Poetry Canada magazine subscribers, Anthology participants, and
much more.
This change will prepare us to be able to handle the increase in membership
we are about to receive as a result of our next anthology call.
This is an enormous undertaking, and will launch in April is Poetry month in
a very big way.
Look for an anthology call that will cover the production of 10 books.
It is similar to the "Chicken Soup for the .... " but this is called:
The Poetry of
(TM)
....
Marriage
Travel
Birth
Relationships
Love
Children
Food
Sports
Occupations
Seasons
This will be a world wide call.
So
start to organize the poetry you have in those categories, and wait. The
call will be put out once everything is in place. Tell your FRIENDS
to subscribe to the new ezine database now!
This is how we will be making the announcements, along with a press release
to 40,000 different types of medias.
The new subscription system is ready for new ezine subscribers. If you
are a current ezine subscriber, have no worries, you will be ported over
automatically.
If you aren't a CFP member, the time to join has never
been better. With Federations around the world now, this call will help to
make us one of the fastest growing poetry organizations in Canada.
Our last anthology was so successful, it sold out in 10 days.
We still have library and fulfillment houses contacting us for more copies.
If it had been sold on Amazon, it could have come close to being a Best Seller.
Well, guess what? These will be sold on Amazon, with the biggest
one-day launch for each one ever coordinated for a poetry book release.
We're about to put poetry back on the map!

PS - If you would like to be involved in this project as an Editor for
one of the editions, please email me ASAP.
