Bindweed is closed to submissions

April update – Thanks to everyone who has submitted work for Midsummer Madness 2024 to date. Once again, we have been blown away by the high standard of work sent to us.

In order to read through the large volume of poetry and fiction that we have received, Bindweed is now closed to further submissions. This is to give us adequate time to respond to all submissions and to allow for time to edit the eBook and paperback copies of the forthcoming anthology.

Midsummer Madness 2024 will be available for pre-order from 1st June. Cover reveal coming soon…

March medical update – response time delays

Our Bindweed Editor in Chief, Leilanie, was in hospital towards the end of last month, which has caused the reading period to fall slightly behind schedule. Just a short update that if you are waiting to hear back about your submission, we will be in touch as soon as we can, though there are slight delays.

We will get back to everyone as soon as we can, and ask that you bear with us while we keep things running behind the scenes. We haven’t forgotten about you!

Thank you – Bindweed

February update – we’re reading submissions

Mid-February is here already, and we’re busy reading for Midsummer Madness 2024. We’re delighted to receive so many submissions again as we did for our last anthology. We’ll be back in touch with everyone who has submitted as per our guidelines.

Please bear in mind that we don’t open any attachments, and we unfortunately don’t have the time to respond to everyone who sends work that doesn’t follow our guidelines, as we’ve had so many. So, if you haven’t received a response within 4 weeks, this it why. Feel free to submit again, if you like, including your work in the body of an email.

Thanks to everyone who has purchased our eBooks, paperbacks, or read our anthologies through Kindle Unlimited. We rely on sales to fund our Editor’s Pick prizes, as we pay Amazon e-gift cards to 2 poetry winners and one fiction winner per anthology, as well as paying for upkeep of our website. Want to grab a copy yourself? Here are our past anthologies:

Submissions are open for Midsummer Madness 2024

Happy New Year!

Submissions are now open for Midsummer Madness 2024, which is scheduled for publication on 21 June 2024. Check out our submission guidelines for what we’re looking for and please note the change to word count for fiction; 2000 words is now the new maximum submission length.

We aim to close on 30th April to allow time to format the paperback and eBook copies of the anthology, though this may be sooner if we reach capacity.

We look forward to reading your work!

Leilanie and Joseph
