Glenda C. Beall Interviews Robert S. King, Poet, Editor and former Director of FutureCycle Press
GCB: You were director of FutureCycle Press at that time.
Robert: FutureCycle Press began in 2007. However, I have also been editor or co-editor of several other presses, dating back to the mid-1970s.
GCB; How many books have been published by FutureCycle Press?
Robert: So far, 50 titles (books, chapbooks, anthologies), with 10 more in production
GCB: When did you begin publishing your poetry? Tell me again, how many of your own books have been published?
Robert: The first poem I published was in 1974, unless you count a short one printed in the church bulletin when I could barely write my name.
I have published six collections of poetry (three chapbooks and three full-length titles), with another full-length manuscript ready to seek a publisher.
Online Submissions Systems and Market Lists for Writers
GCB: On April 20, you will teach a workshop on the Nuts and Bolts Guide to Online Submission Systems and Market Lists for Writers
Why is it important for writers to learn how to submit online and what will they learn in your class that they can't pick up on the Internet?
Robert: Online submission is now the standard, no longer an exception to the rule. More and more publications are not only allowing electronic submissions but also requiring it.
Snail-mail submissions will be obsolete before too many years pass.
My class will not teach you anything that you couldn't learn on your own, but it will prevent you from having to go through the School of Hard Knocks, wasting your time.
It takes quite awhile to discover all the resources for submissions and no small amount of time learning how to use them. My class will jump-start your proficiency at selecting suitable publishers and sending according to their guidelines.
GCB: Is this class for experienced writers and poets or for beginners?
Robert: It's for any level of writer. Even many advanced writers don't know the resources available. However, beginning to intermediate writers will benefit most.
GCB: People know you as a poet. Is the class at Moss Memorial Library for poets only or for any writer?
Robert: The class is geared toward literary genres, including poetry, fiction, and essays. However, the resources discussed are comprehensive and suitable for any kind of writing, except perhaps cookbooks.
GCB: Thank you, Robert. You are always generous about giving of your time to help other writers. We all appreciate you.

Writing From The Spirit Within Workshop led by Estelle Rice
Estelle Darrow Rice, poet and writer, will teach Writing From the Spirit Within, at the Moss Memorial Library on Saturday, September 6, 9:30 - 3:30 PM.
Writing from the Spirit Within will stress the essence of our personalities which makes each of us a special individual designed by our Creator. Our goal will be to enrich our response to others and to the universe, thereby creating depth of meaning to our writing. We will use techniques to also enrich our imaginations, whether we are interested in poetry or prose. The workshop is appropriate for beginners as well as more seasoned writers.
Registration fees are $30.00 for members of NCWN West and $35 for non-members. We are not allowed to take money at the library so be sure you send a check made to NCWN West and mail to PO box 626 , Hayesville, NC 28904. For more information on the class, contact Estelle Rice at telnev@cabletvonline.net or Glenda Beall, glendabeall@msn.com.
