Madness Muse Press is looking for new editors!

We need skilled people like you who LOVE poetry and CNF to join our team!

We need 2-3 editors to work on the press general submissions, as well as our Mental health
magazine which is launching as soon as we find editors.

We also have launched a new movement, Madness Muse Poetics which you can find more about here: https://madnessmusepresssite.wordpress.com/

We take submission via email, and work efficiently, but with deep respect for mental health of the editors.

We're also considering experienced applicants.

No Payment, but you'll get a beautiful line on your CV.

Again this is a volunteer position. And if you're currently in college, talk to your advisor about college credits for this role.

DM me for details, and/or let us know in the comments.

Just read some phenomenal pieces submitted to Madness Muse Press.

I am awestruck at the vulnerability and awareness people can bring to mental health pieces. After reading, I left as a new person. Suffice to say, many acceptances today. I can't wait for you to read them via our new venture, Madness Muse Magazine. :)

This October/November, Madness Muse Press will be taking submissions for our next Poetry Anthology. The title of the anthology is, "The Black Dog." All about depression. Alan Ebenezer will be editing for this anthology. Edgy, narrative poetry is what we'll be looking for. If you're down for writing some edgy verse, look for us in October/November.

Much love. ❤

Summer's Harvest II

Under serious consideration, Madness Muse Press will be closing its doors until January 1st of 2022.

Our editors have moved on, and I will be going back to college soon to obtain another degree.

With that being said, thank you, contributors. Thank you so much for making this little lit mag exactly what it is meant to be; a microphone for the socially literate, and the literary social.

We will be back in 2022 to kick more ass and deliver more socially relevant poetry. Until that time comes, we urge to you to stay committed to your dreams and passions. You only get one light, let it glow.

Much love.

Hello, everyone!

We here at Madness Muse Press just wanted to tell you about our (And possibly your) potential blogging opportunity. Basically, it takes time and dedication to run a small press. And like everyone, we do not have those in abundance. So we’re now partnering with the paid blogging website, ” Link From Blog” By Human Kind.

You will not notice a difference in our awesome social justice blog. You will just see several posts per month regarding poetry/literature related things.

We do this to ensure that we can continue our work.

We hope you continue to read Madness Muse Press, because we love reading all of your work and publishing the best in today’s poetry.

With love and respect,

Adam Levon Brown
