Description:
A broadside is a single sheet of paper printed on one side. For this swap: You may use any size paper you'd wish, but try to use high-quality paper. Folding or rolling is ok if done neatly (like a poster). You may either hand-letter and decorate your broadside or design it digitally and print it out, but either way, it should be very neat and high-quality. The choice of poem is up to you -- it can be something you wrote or a poem you really love that someone else wrote. Want to see examples? Google poetry broadsides and you will find a lot, but you can start here: http://www.broadsidedpress.org/ Newbies are ok! We were all newbies once, and I was recently. This is the first swap I am hosting but I promise to be a very reliable coordinator.

Just signed up but I wish it was all a month earlier. it's not a hard swap and I'd love to make a poetry broadside sooner rather than later.

Ah, sorry junemoon! You could always make it now and just save it. Or if you want to do a one-on-one swap with me before the official one, I would be up for making one sooner, too. I am not sure how the one-on-ones work, but if you know and you want to do it, message me.

I love this idea and I have a few more swaps (here and another site), but if I can get those out of the way in a decent amount of time I will definitely sign up. What a great swap!

This is good feedback for a first-time coordinator, guys -- thank you. Next time I host a swap I will make a shorter turn-around time and think about having more than one swap partner. Sorry about that -- still learning! And I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew.
