Reminder! Don't wait!

 If you're like me, you see a deadline, and that date feels so far off that you just put it off for a bit. You tell yourself, "I have SOOO much time to put together the perfect submission for this!" You file it in an email folder that you SWEAR to yourself you're going to look at and remind yourself. You promise yourself you will do it tonight, or tomorrow, or definitely by the weekend.

This is your two-ish week warning.

The deadline to submit to the 40 Over 40 Anthology is April 30, which might sound like a lot of time when it's only April 14, but you know you get distracted by things like work and chores and holidays and family stuff and the next thing you know, it will be May 1.

**
Because I know the algorithm means this might be your first time hearing about this--the 40 Over 40 Anthology is funded by an ArtsForward grant. Poets in Northeast Ohio (or who have a past or present connection to the area) who are over the age of 40 may submit between now and April 30 to be included in an anthology to be released in August 2025. Submissions are free, and accepted poets will receive a $40 honorarium, copy of the print publication, and an invitation to read at the book launch celebration at Akron Main Library on Sunday, August 17. Full details in the link below.

So don't wait.

Don't.
Wait.

Send your submission now, and enjoy that feeling of ease and satisfaction when you've accomplished a thing on your to-do list that is something you wanted to do for yourself. And then you did it! Huzzah!
