CSFF Blog Tour - MindFlights

This entry was posted on Monday, May 19. 2008 and is filed under Posts by Rebecca Luella Miller,CSFF Blog Tour,Contests.

Yep, it's that time. And what better way to start summer off than with a virtual tour featuring the online science fiction and fantasy publication, MindFlights. One of the especially cool things about tours for webzines is that you never know what to expect when you visit other bloggers. Will they do a site overview? Review a story? Highlight an editor? Or ... clue you in about the MindFlights poetry contest?

That's what I'm focusing on here at Spec Faith, because ... well, contests are cool. And poetry contests, especially speculative poetry contests, are not things you come across every day.

You can read all the details in the MindFlights announcement, but here are some key points.

Qualifications: poems centered on the theme Exile; must be original, unpublished works—no reprints.

Two categories, based on length.

Cash prizes.

Entry fee: None!

Deadline: midnight, June 30, 2008.

So how about you? Think you'd like to try your hand at a poem? or two? or three?

Be sure to check out the complete guidelines. You might also want to read some of the other poetry at MindFlights, such as Mary Jo Rabe's Martian Weather.

  Hello! I'm not much of a poetry fan,at least, the kind I like tend to be much more straight forward than what often gets published. Even so, I've a lot of respect for Mindflights as they encourage the poets among us. Best regards.

  Michael, I write poetry for myself--never tried speculative, actually. But I'm like you in that I have a high regard for MindFlights and think it's great that they provide a venue for poets to publish.
