Submissions of writing and artwork are invited for Issue 11 of Pushing Out the Boat, North-East Scotland's acclaimed magazine of prose, poetry and visual arts. Subject to funding, Issue 11 will be published in late Spring 2012, with the possibility of an online version to follow.

Issue 11: Call for Submissions

WRITING:

* Poetry, fiction and playscript may be submitted; work may be in English, Doric or Scots and must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere.
* Due to limited space, shorter works are preferable — although we may accept longer items (eg self-contained extracts) up to 3,500 words. See Guidelines for advice.
* Please send up to three poems to poetry@pushingouttheboat.co.uk, and/or up to two prose/playscript pieces to prose@pushingouttheboat.co.uk.
* Submissions should be emailed as separate MS Word or RTF attachments. The submission document(s) itself should show only the title of the piece, and (for prose) the word count. Please do not use headers and footers.
* Each category of submission should be accompanied by an email cover note, detailing contributor name; postal address; email address;* phone number; age if under 18 (N.B. secondary school pupils only); and the title of each attached piece.

To ensure anonymous selection, no contributor name should appear on any attached submission.
Please do not send multiple copies, which overload our mailboxes - receipt of submissions will be acknowledged by return.
Please do not send any other communication to these email addresses. Any queries should be addressed to info@pushingouttheboat.co.uk.

Final date for submissions is , but earlier entries are especially appreciated. Acceptance of contributions will be emailed by 31 January 2011. Please note that due to limited resources we are unable to notify rejections or to enter into correspondence regarding selection.

Successful entrants will receive a copy of the magazine and an invitation to read or display their work at the launch event to be held in late Spring 2012.
