I have some Editors for the various CFP anthology editions, so if you are
interested, see below for the topics available. If I can
make this happen with my book, I can make it happen with the other

IN CFP HISTORY |

We will be announcing this each newsletter, and posting updates, calls,
links, here as well.
A reminder our subscriber system is getting upgraded, so when you receive a
welcome notice, you will know what it is.
Some of the Editor positions have been filled, which means these books will
be getting their calls first.
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

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 ezine 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.
These will be sold exclusively 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!

"NEW" NEW BRUNSWICK FEDERATION
|
Much thanks to Rebecca Cuevas De Caissie who is the New
Brunswick Federation Chair. In addition, Rebecca is the
Youth Division Director and is responsible for ensuring that the
youth of society are aware of poetry, and that the CFP has free
membership for youth aged 15 years of age and under. This
is a very big task, and we are grateful she is doing such a
wonderful job with this.
Rebecca has been working closely with local schools to introduce
poetry, contests, and poetry projects, as well as encouraging
the youth of that area to get involved with the CFP. These
are the next generation of poets, and we need to be sure they
keep their passion for poetry well into adulthood, and make it a
part of their life every day.
If you are in the New Brunswick area, make sure you attend the New Brunswick
events which are held the last Thursday of every month in Richibucto, NB.
If you are from that area, make sure you contact Rebecca, and help her with the
youth projects and/or find out more about the Federation meetings.
You can find out more at:
Take a look at the benefits the benefits
the CFP has to offer, and make this the year you join.
