Dear Poet With a Day Job,
I’m writing to submit some contest guidelines in the hope that this contest will be included in your poetry book contest list. The Sacramento Poetry Center has been around for well-nigh 30 years, and we are a very well-known and respected local institution. We also have a generous donor (Cathy Washington, after whom our prize has been named), who has insured the continuity of the contest. I hope you’ll agree that we are very far from the “fly-by-night” outfits many poets rightly mistrust. Please let me know if there are any problems.
Thanks for your time!
yours, Brad Buchanan
