If you are interested, I posted a link (at the contest page) to some candid notes from last year’s book contest. We try hard we try to do this the right
way.

One of the greatest examples of how this work has paid off is the new poetry book that we published in February 2007. Please visit the MMM Press pages online for samples, reviews, responses, audio, interviews, events etc.

MMM Press is unusually open to a diversity of styles, themes, forms etc. Browse the books at the “MMM Press” link. Many Mountains Moving: a literary
journal of diverse voices published some works from all six of the finalists from last year’s poetry book contest.

At MMM Press, we also work hard with our authors to make the books as great and as attractive as they can be, and we make many efforts on behalf of our authors, including running ads in American Poetry Review, Poets & Writers, the AWP Chronicle and elsewhere.

People with questions about the book contest not answered by the info on the site can send them straight to me at jeffreyethan@att.net
