Major change to orders by Contributing Poets
Beginning with the 2016-17 San Diego Poetry Annual, and by special arrangement with our new printer, copies will be made available to contributing poets at a special rate to those ordering from our online e-store.
Contributing Poets — You will no longer have to pick up your pre-paid copies at a scheduled reading. Copies ordered through our online e-store will be shipped directly to you.
- The special rate per copy is the actual cost of production.
- The special rate will be announced prior to March 1st each year.
- Orders for copies at the special rate will be available for two (2) months — from March 1st to May 1st each year.
- Contributing Poets may order unlimited copies at the special rate.
- Sales tax and shipping charges will be added at the time of ordering.
- The Publisher makes no profit on sales to Contributing Poets.
- Poets are never required to buy a copy or pay any fee to have poems published in the annual.
To qualify for this special rate, contributing poets must order through our online e-store, using a discount code.
The link to our online e-store and the discount code will be sent to Contributing Poets in February each year by e-mail and/or Facebook messages/postings.
- Our online e-store accepts credit cards and PayPal.
- Ordering through our online e-store is as safe, secure and simple as ordering through Amazon.com.
- Orders placed through our online e-store are fulfilled through Amazon.com and receive first priority from Amazon.com.
- The discount code will work only from March 1st to May 1st.
- The annual is published in association with a local arts non-profit, the San Diego Entertainment & Arts Guild (SDEAG), a 501(c)(3) public charity. All purchases are therefore tax-deductible.
Sales at Scheduled Readings
Copies offered at our scheduled readings will be sold at the retail price.
- We are now able to accept payment by credit card, as well as by personal check and cash, at our scheduled readings.
- Please check this website for updates about our scheduled readings, and look for e-mails from Regional Editors and the Publisher.

Hi, I had the oportunity of publish in the latest number. I’m From Mexico, how can I get some copies?
If you cannot attend any of our scheduled readings, copies are available online at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com or may be ordered through any bookstore.
But, there aint no possibilities you guys send me a copy or the number of copies I have the right to have as a formal contributor poet? I published a poem in Marca Frontera and I think I have the right to get a piece at least.
As you may have noticed in one of our recent posts, we received a grant from Southwestern College and from The Poetry Foundation this April and those funds were used to distribute one FREE copy of Marca Frontera to all contributing poets and translators. Regional Editor Olga Garcia has been given the copies to distribute, so please contact her directly to make arrangements to have your copy delivered to you. Thanks again for allowing us to publish your work.
Question on cost, if I am donating my copies to a university and public library here in Texas, is there a special offer for multiple copies?
Contributing poets can buy unlimited copies at the same special discount rate (cost). These copies must be prepaid by March 31 and then picked up at a scheduled reading.
Thank you for beautiful presentation.
