Haiku publication opportunity

Publication opportunity for haiku poets, announced by seashores 9/16/23:

A great publication project:

Poets who have not yet published an individual collection of haiku/senryu will be interested in a book scheduled to be published in 2024. Editors, David Jacobs and Andrew Shimield are seeking to showcase 4-6 haiku writers of outstanding merit in this publication and submissions of between 30-40 haiku are invited and sent to David Jacobs at davidjacobs2011@gmail.com to whom any enquiries should also be sent.

The closing date for submissions is 31 December 2023 and the editors stress that only submissions from those who have not yet published an individual collection will be considered.  Successful authors will not be required to contribute any costs towards the publication and will receive between 5-10 complimentary copies.  It is hoped to hold a book launch event on publication.
