@usrofc.bsky.social Submissions are open for the 2025 Republic of Consciousness Prize for the US and Canada! 🤩 Check out the full submissions criteria online: www.republicofconsciousnessprize-usa.com/submissions
The NEA has released their updated literature grant guidelines. They are appalling. Tupelo Press will not be altering our 25-year mission to promote contemporary poetry and literary prose by emerging and established writers of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including, especially, women and writers of color, as well as the LGBTQ+, immigrant, and Native American communities. We aim to develop wider audiences for, and deeper understanding of, innovative, multi-cultural writing by essential participants in this conversation. At the same time, we undertake to enhance the reading experience itself by publishing and distributing gorgeously designed and produced books. If adherence to our principles means that we will be ineligible for NEA grants going forward, so be it. Compliance with the new regulations would be immoral.
This is how you do it. Thank you, @tupelopress.bsky.social!!!
