Call for submissions- Olive Skins

First of all, I would like to extend my gratitude to all my genuine followers who have supported my work in the best possible way over the years and so now I am thrilled to announce that my dear friend Kristiana and I are soon going to start our own collective OLIVE SKINS which is scheduled for June end. This collective will be a collection of all the brave voices out there which often go unheard by others. The aim is to take submissions about mental health, pain, abstract poems, and fiction.

Ink your beautiful words, surreal poetry, prose and fiction through our email. We want raw poetry, no same old cliched romance poetry, if you want to be romantic, show us that in your fierce style! The collective shall be themed base.

Guidelines-

Submit your best work, no rhyming poetry, please. We will not accept anything which doesn’t enthrall us at all.

  1. Send your work in a word file only.
  2. If you wish to be a contributing writer please mention the same in the subject of your mail.

      1. Sent them now. You’re familiar with my work so if you think I totally chose the wrong pieces, let me know and I’ll exchange them for something else 😉

  2. Best of luck! I will keep my cliched romantic poetry cloistered 😉
    The dark and raw might not be ready for prime time just yet as it might freak out my followers in a “oh my god Diana are you ok”? way.
    Hmm. Maybe another identity? 😊

    I really love this line:
    “This collective will be a collection of all the brave voices out there which often go unheard by others.”
    It seems to me that I could maybe fit into this collective. I’m hesitant, but what do you think?
