CavanKerry Press See other projects related to this listing. About We are partial to the writer whose distinct voice is emotionally accessible and daring. We discourage writers from sending material that is victim-ridden, pedagogic, preachy or sentimental. Works that function as soapboxes for political causes are unacceptable. The press publishes 5 to 6 books each year through one of the five imprints: Emerging Voices, works from early or mid-career poets; the Baron Wormser Notable Voices Collection, works of established poets of merit and distinction; Memoir, memoirs of writers keeping with the theme Lives Brought to Life; LaurelBooks, fine collections of poetry and prose that explore the many poignant issues associated with confronting serious physical and/or psychological illness; Florenz Eisman Memorial Collection, work from a New Jersey writer in honor of CavanKerry’s first Managing Editor. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, except for a limited number of fee waivers for those who need financial assistance. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.) The fee range is USD $12 to $25 (average to above average for publishers that charge). Want more insight into the editors' preferences?
