Missed the deadline?

 It's not too late to be published!

​
If you missed the September 12th deadline
for mailing back the author release and order form for Illustrious, 
please note:  
We may still be able to include your child's poem in the book!
Please mail your child's signed release form

and payment for any books ordered, without delay.
We will do what we can to still include your child.
If we can't, we can still publish your child’s poem, in our next compilation, 
scheduled for fall 2020.
Simply cross out the title "Illustrious"
 and print the words "Fall 2020" on the release and order form 
and send it along with payment for any books ordered to the address on the form. 
2019 prices will still be honored if the current release and order form is used.
Your order and your child's poem will then be for the 2020 book, 
with delivery in early December of 2020.
This should be done at the earliest opportunity as work will soon begin on our next book.
If, by chance, we receive the release and order in time to include the poem in Illustrious, 
we will do that, even if "Illustrious"  has been crossed out and changed to "Fall 2020". 
About 20 business days after you mail your form, please check the order status page.  
If delivery says 2019 or 2020, that indicates which December you will receive your order with your child's published poem.

​Excitement is growing in anticipation of our new 2019 Student Poetry Collection.

Illustrious will bring critical acclaim to the work of many exceptional young authors
from across the United States.

Did you know that only a small percentage

of students who submit poetry will be published?
In fact, less than 20 percent of all submissions
will be included in the new 2019 Student Poetry Collection.

Any author whose work we have offered to showcase in Illustrious
must sign and return the "Artist's Release" form to authorize us to print the poem,
but all rights to the poem itself remain with the author.

The "Artist's Release" form also serves as an "Order" form.
