We are delighted to announce that our first Guest Editor for 'The Mays 32' @MaysAnthology, is poet and broadcaster Lemn Sissay OBE @lemnsissay!
Why not write for our big sister publication @VarsityUK ? Applications to join Varsity’s writing team in Easter 2024 are now open until the 3rd of April varsity.co.uk/news/27339
We are so excited to let you know that the 32nd edition of The Mays will have two fantastic guest editors! We will be revealing their names very soon...
The whole team has been very busy reading your submissions and have been meeting this week to discuss them! Please be patient as we make our decisions over the next couple of weeks! We will let you know the outcome of your submissions via email.
Thank you so much to everyone who has submitted! We received almost 1000 submissions across the board, and we're beyond excited to read your work. We'll get back to everyone with our decisions before April! More announcements to follow very soon. In the meantime, much Mays love!
You've got until midday TOMORROW (1/03) to submit your poetry, prose, and artwork to The Mays! Send your documents, PDFs, or JPEGs to us via email ([email protected]) or WeTransfer. Best of luck everyone!
We can't believe how quickly this has come around! Only three more days to submit to The Mays 32! Thanks everyone who came to our poetry workshop last night. We had such a brilliant time writing and reading with you!
Just seven days left to submit your short stories, poetry, art and creative photography... themaysanthology.co.uk
Some photos from our book sale last week! It was so nice to chat to you all about books and writing! Our next event takes place on Monday at @TheMaypoleCamb ...
You are invited to an evening of poetry and all-round nice vibes on the top floor of The Maypole, Cambridge next Monday. We'll be running collaborative poetry activities from 7 to around 8.30. Afterwards, feel free to stick around and grab a drink with the editors!
Just a few more notes about submitting your work to us! Thank you to everyone who has submitted so far - remember, deadline is 1st of March!
Join us on Tuesday for a flash sale of back copies of the anthology at a discounted price! We will be set up in the social space of the English Faculty in Cambridge 10am to 2pm. Team members will be around to chat about The Mays, the submissions process and answer any questions.
Art editors Isobel and Anna have plenty of tips to share with all our aspiring artists. There's no one way to create a beautiful piece of artwork for our anthology; we accept all sorts of submissions, from photography to portraiture, from sculpture to digital art!
Our prose team are looking for strong immersive narratives, pieces of urgency, acuity, and curiosity. As Isaac writes, the best work is honest, original, and stimulating. Did you know some of Zadie Smith's first short stories were published in The Mays?
As we get closer to our submissions deadline, we'll be sharing comments from our section editors on the type of things they love about poetry, prose, and art! Quick reminder, too, that there's no theme for The Mays 32, and these tips aren't prescriptive!
