Are on the ‘About Orbis‘ page but just to stress, as I have now started working on the Autumn issue: covering letters should not be confused with CVs: let your work do the talking.
But please include an email address if you have one, or a phone number. And name and address on the back of each poem; all editors tend to be awash with paper.
Carole Baldock has worked as an editor, publisher and writer
for quite a long time now, judging competitions
(eg: Haddon, Cambridge; Poetry by the Lake, Orta [twice]);
providing critiques; running workshops; organizing literary events:
New York, London, Paris –
Wrexham
‘Everyone said they’d come again which is, of course, the best feedback.’
(workshop for Cheshire County Council)
‘A triumph – you were brilliant’ (Dea Parkin, for Chorley & District Writers’ Circle)
‘A great success… Carole informed and entertained our students.’
(Abegail Morley, Benenden School)
‘even if there aren’t
always happy endings,
each beginning is filled with promise’.
(from Full of the Joys of Spring)
The ideal present, maybe – if you and yours like poetry (and even if they don’t think so) because there is something for everybody to enjoy in here:
