Hi both - or anyone else who can help
I emailed the strangers specific email for the answer to this but the mail wouldn't deliver? Can I submit a poem for the anthology or does it have to be flash fiction?
Thanks

Thanks Wilhelmina, I've sent again - no s in the email this time!!
Hi, Clare!
As Jimmy's written before, publishing your e-mail address on-line is a good way of getting your intray flooded with electronically generated spam. So...
Our web-site is la-granota.com (We don't mind HOW many machines visit that!) Before that, you put an @. Before the @ you put the word stranger (not strangers).
If it fails again, in your case, Clare, you could just send it to the general address you've used before. The stranger address would help, though, as it keeps all entries to this project together.
The hyphen in the address is ESSENTIAL!
We are REALLY looking forward to reading your entry in particular! And yes, poems are more than welcome. Jimmy has posted one here on shared work, and would appreciate feedback. They just need to conform to the 486 words limit. (If they're over, you could always send Pt 1, Pt 2, etc.)
Let me just remind others that we also want graphic works of ANY kind: from fingerpaintings and comics to photographs of (original work) giant sculptures, graffiti, photomontage, collage oil paintings. Be ORIGINAL (if you must). And if you can donate the original artwork (or signed, limited-edition prints), we can use them as rewards on kickstarter to fund the printing costs. We at La Gr@not@ are working on this project unpaid... but the printers insist on money.
And if you have children (and they know about refugees), persuade them to contribute, too!
As far as we're concerned, the more variety in this book, the better!
Any more questions, anybody?
I have one: Could people let us know if they're working on something (and how many pieces / graphic or literary*) for this book? (Replies on this thread will do the job.) We've got one painting, Jimmy's poem, and 4 pieces of flash prose so far. That's not going to go a long way towards helping refugees... and we're getting worried, now that the deadline's only 9 days away.
* Remember that you can submit up to 3 pieces of each. There are 3 free copies of the book for the most appreciated contributor, a decision which will take quality AND quantity into account. A 4yo who sends 3 drawings and 3 TINY prose works could well walk away with this prize. (So could Helen Jones for her excellent 110-word story. But we want MORE, Helen!!!)
