entry picture

The publishers of an anthology of women’s poetry called Furies are seeking submissions. The deadline is 30 March, and all profits from the anthology will be donated to rape crisis, a charity supporting cictims of rape and sexual violence. Publishers For Books' Sake say: “We interpret Furies in the widest possible sense, and your hellcat heroines may be modern, mythic, animal or cyborg, women from film, fiction, history, music, art and activism, or rebels in their own home.

“Whether you’re penning a tribute to Pussy Riot, a sonnet about suffragettes, a love letter to women warriors from fairytale or folklore, or something else entirely, we can’t wait to read your writing.” More details

I think this is the relevant info, Dorinda:

"Unless a different composition is important to the sense of the poem, please use Times 12pt font and submit your work as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf attachment with your Paypal reference number to furies@forbookssake.net. Please also include a short biography of no more than 100 words."

In other words, there doesn't seem to be an entry form as such. That's often the case with submissions. You should just send an email with the poems as an attachment. Hope this helps. Greg.
