Feb 2014 - Poet Plant Press is proud to announce the publication of a Ancient City Poets newsletter. Distributed by email at least once a month, the mailing will list poetry Florida events in Jacksonville and St. John's County, Flagler County and in March, Tampa. CLICK this link to sign-up for ---> FREE FLORIDA POETRY EVENT NEWSLETTER However, there is a small problem: the service costs $150 a year and the Ancient City Poets are not a money making venture. They are just a bunch of writers, dreamers, and poetry lovers. Let's pay this bill with an underwriting and sponsorship campain. We will list your name (or company name), your website / contact info , and the service that you offer. We will also consider offering a sponsorship level, where we would display our logo in the newsletter. The newsletter service (Constant Contact) saves Poet Plant Press so much time and labor. More time to spend making poetry books. DONATION LINK:http://www.gofundme.com/6uhmuc Please think about supporting the worthy cause. Thank You, Ancient City Poets/ Poet Plant Press |
