I stumbled accross this and thought everyone would like to know about it. Blue Mountain is a card industry and they are looking for original poems to be included on their cards. That have a hand-made quality that looks really nice.

If they like the poem, they will buy the full rights for 300 or may put it in the anthologies for 50 per poem. Here's the link to the site so you can check it out for yourself. I submitted a couple poems so far.

I've been writing for them for a number of years now. Absolutely love the company. The only downside is the long market review time. 24 months. Very long time to wait for what is most likely a no. Though I've had stuff published with them and like I said I like them...it's just that darn 24 months wait. I wish they could shorten that.

Long time for a No

Agreed...24 months is too long, especially for a "No." I signed a contract with them on one of my pieces a few years ago and at the end of the 2 years I got a "thanks, but no thanks." I can handle rejection, have had plenty of it, but put me off a bit not being able to do anything else with the piece. Maybe I'll try them again. I like their product.
