Summary

Dancing Elephants Press (DEP) is coordinating collaborative book projects for 2023, involving writers and poets, with specific instructions and deadlines for participation.

Abstract

Dancing Elephants Press has initiated book projects for 2023, inviting writers and poets to contribute to a collective publication aimed at bringing joy to readers. Participants are instructed to follow a series of steps, including confirming their email and WhatsApp contacts for communication, attending Zoom meetings, signing up with Draft2Digital, and submitting their biographies and articles. The process also involves a collaborative effort on social media to support and promote each other's work. The project includes both a book and a poetry collection, with the poetry book still having open slots for interested participants who are required to submit original poems and a letter of interest. The editors, including Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi, encourage questions and offer multiple channels for communication, fostering a sense of community among contributors.
