Lake County Poet Laureate Georgina Marie and The Lake County Bloom invite Lake County writers to submit to our bi-weekly poetry column, Rooted in Poetry.
This column is a collaboration to offer a platform for local writers to introduce themselves to the community through their writing. Writers of all backgrounds are welcome regardless of your experience or style. We support established and emerging writers and look forward to reading a wide range of work and perspectives.
This column is a space to share writing experience, writing origin stories, what inspires your work, perhaps positive guidance for other writers, etc. It’s fairly open to subject matter with a focus on poetry. There is no word limit although column submissions to date have averaged around 5oo words in length.
We ask that your column be submitted as a Word document or any editable format and we ask that you submit a photo of yourself (JPEG or PNG file), an author bio around 100-150 words, and one or two original poems.
Send submissions to georgina.marie@hotmail.com and/or editor@lakecountybloom.com.
Writers will be asked to sign a consent release form for publication. Lake County Bloom does not reserve any rights of the author other than consent for the one-time publication.
Column submissions are subitted on a voluntary, unpaid basis.
Submissions will be published bi-weekly in the order they are received. Click the following link to view columns published to date.
