Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

The On The Edge MSPS chapter is seeking submissions for their 2010 anthology. There is no theme - any subject. Each person whose poem(s) or story gains acceptance for publication will receive a free copy of the published book, a $17.95 value. The books are library-bound (stitched) hardback and have an ISBN number assigned. This will be our eighth annual anthology. We plan to limit the book size to approximately 200 pages.
