Wrenna, thanks for posting this.  I'll have to sort through my poems and see what I have. :)

Is this self-publishing or a vanity press?  Is there a cost to the author?  What bookstores or other venues will carry the book?

Good question. There is no cost to the author. It is not self-published and it is not vanity (authors are not required to pay anything upfront to have their poems published). Poets who have their poems published in the anthology will receive one contributor's copy as payment.

Thanks for the quick response.  Is this the first attempt at hoopoetry or is there a previous volume?

You're welcome. As far as I know, it's a first. Please help spread the word to any hooping poets you know!

I want to do this! I have a great poem about hooping that I love. I don't know how to send something in a .pdf though. What is that exactly? Any help on how to do that? I could send it as a link, an email or a word processing file but I am not knowing this thing you call .pdf. Can someone help?

Wonderful! A word .doc is fine too. We'll add that to the submission guidelines. I don't want it to be difficult to submit work. We prefer pdf because formatting won't be altered in any way. If you have Adobe Acrobat (it's a free download) you can save any word processing file to a pdf.

We had to pay to for Acrobat; as far as I know, Adobe Reader is the free download, and it's only for reading pdf files (unless something has changed and I missed it).

 

If you can't download the converter for free, my offer (see comment below) still stands.  Just let me know if you want to do it.

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. It's not free unless you're just using the reader version. However, you can download CutePDF for free and it will save your document as a pdf. http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp

Shoot! Mine may be too long. It's a short poem but written in short small sentences. 

 

Here is a link for anyone who wants to read it. It's called Hoop Bliss: http://people.tribe.net/caroleeena/blog/ebdeb0d2-a166-4ef2-89c9-d88...

Great to know!  I have Acrobat at work, but nothing at home.  I'll have to download this; thanks for posting the link. :)
