🎵 Have Yourself… Your Own Poetry Broadside 🎵

Have Yourself Your Own Poetry Broadside Offer

Since starting our Poem of the Month contest, we’ve received so many kind comments about our broadsides and wanted to do something special this holiday season: to make broadsides accessible to those beyond the contest.

Maybe you didn’t win the contest, or maybe you don’t like participating in contests. Maybe you want a broadside you can frame of a famous poem that you love. Maybe you want to give a visual poem as a gift!

For $15, you can submit one poem (30 lines or less, please), and we will create a digital broadside that is optimized for printing.

We create high-quality and crisp images and optimize our files for printing that you can do at home, or you could go to a public printer and print on cardstock; our previous broadsides are performing beautifully. Then you’re ready to display your broadside, frame it, whatever you like! You could even print it in a smaller size and make a homemade ornament!

Interested? Email mckenzie@litshark.com

DEADLINE: We might open this up long-term, but for now, we’re offering it as a holiday special. Please contact us with your interest by or before Friday, December 20, 2024.

A Lit Shark Editor's Note Offer

Sometimes after spending a lot of time with a piece, you need someone to tell you what’s working and what could still be elevated and fine-tuned. With more than 15 years of editing experience, 9 years in the classroom, and over 20 years of shifting through literary magazine submissions, we’ve got you covered.

For $20, a writer can submit up to 3 poems (or 6 pages) or 1 story (10 pages) and receive the following:

1. Thorough line-editing checking grammar, punctuation, stylistics, and plot concerns;

2. A reader’s reaction to the piece: what the reader likes, what the reader questions, etc.;

3. A two-page workshop-style deep dive discussion of your piece, your writing style, what’s working in the piece, what changes would give the piece that extra sparkle, and few suggestions of where to submit.
