Calling all young writers 17/03/10

Submissions are now open for the 2010 National Young Writers’ Festival (NYWF). We are seeking proposals from fiction writers, poets, journalists, zinesters, magazinesters, bloggers, playwrights, editors, curators, independent publishers, critics, activists, media geeks, comics creators, theory-heads, thinkers, performance artists, visual artists – all and sundry Friends of the Word…to take part in the epic 2010 NYWF!

Whether you’re fresh-faced and peppy-toed, or you’ve been around the literary block and lived to tell the tale, we want YOU. If you have a concept to peddle or an idea to burn: grab your lappy, your pen, your crayon – or better yet, all three, and get to filling out the following details.

WRITE NOW, THINK LATER! Submissions close midnight, MARCH 31st.
