A Message from VoicesNet
|
 |
Hello
to all of the Poets and Writers of the World!
I admit
it! I like writing to all of you regularly through this Visions
medium. I think we can stay in touch better this way and that
I can keep you updated on everything we are trying to accomplish
around here at VoicesNet.com.
We took
a hiatus for the month of July and are glad to be back in
the swing of things. Its exciting sending out this Literary
Journal. It should keep getting better and better as we get
rolling.
Here are
some updates on some of our programs:
Poetry
Ambassador Program
Our new
international poetry outreach program has made great progress
with 50+ International Poetry Ambassadors in our new program
and new signups arriving almost every day.
I continue
to be inspired from emails that I receive from our Ambassadors
who live all around the globe.
If you
are interested in finding out more about this exciting new
program, check out our new International Poetry Ambassador
Section of our website. You are welcome to check it out at:
www.voicesnet.com/poetryambassadorhome.htm.
In our
next Visions Literary Journal mailing, we will be including
an article about our new Ambassador program and also hope
to have some pictures of readings that are occuring in this
program for you to see.
VoicesNet
Anthology Poetry Contest Update
VoicesNet
4 - Dec 1, 2002 to Feb 28, 2003 submissions: These contest
books are being made now and we hope to mail the book orders

book orders mailed out by then.
VoicesNet

Forum
Activities
Get interactive
at our forums, stop
by and read some poetry. We have a lot of new members
and many that have been around for a long time. I am constantly
getting notes in new membership requests about how the VoicesNet
poets are so very talented.
Visions
Literary Journal Progress
This is
kind of a subtle return to action for us here at VoicesNet,
after taking a July vacation from our bi-weekly Visions Literary
Journal mailings.
In coming
editions, we will have articles about the Israeli-Palestine
Conflict, the Merits of Getting Published, a topic article
from our Debates and News Forum, and other interesting articles
for you to read.
We will
also continue to bring to you some good poetry from talented
poets from all around the world.
We have
received many submitted articles. If you write an article
that you would like to see in the Journal, then send it to
jj@voicesnet.com.
We have
surpassed 10000 subscribers for this Journal. How exciting
is that!
Links
Page
Poet in
Residence Listener, also the head of our Technical Forum,
has revised our Links Page recently and you can check it out
at www.voicesnet.com/poetrylinks.htm.
This whole area will be expanded to eventually be a type of
poetry and writers directory, or search engine. You will be
able to use it to look up information about writing and poetry.
We continue
to look for established and new poetry related websites to
exchange links with. If you have a site that is poetry and/or
writing related, then please Click
here to get our link exchange page where our HTML linkage
code can be found to cut and paste into your website!
