May 2008

Submissions for a new anthology of creative writing are being sought by Clackmannanshire's Writers in Residence Tom Murray and Stuart Hepburn.

They are looking for stories and poems from writers who:

  • are aged 18 or over
  • live in the county
  • or who have taken part in the workshops and events run by the Writers in Residence.

The deadline for submission is 18th July 2008. Writers will be notified of the results of their submission by the end of August 2008.

The anthology does not have a theme - the subject matter of the submission is up to you. Each writer can submit up to two pieces of work for consideration. There is no fee for submission.

Maximum poem length: 60 lines (not including title.)
Maximum story length: 1000 words (not including title.)

Submissions must be in English or Scots. Poems to be single spaced. Stories to be double spaced.

Submissions must show no name, address or identifying marks other than the title. There is no entry form. All contact details should be on a separate letter. Entries will not be returned: keep a copy for yourself.

Submission by email, or on CD disc only. Please format your submission in either RTF, Plain Text or MS WORD. If submitting via email please attach each submission separately and put ' Anthology submission' in the subject line of the email.

Submissions should be sent to Tom Murray at tmurray@clacksweb.org.uk or if on disc handed into Alloa Library labelled " FAO Tom Murray (Anthology)"

Submissions must be entirely the work of the entrant and must never have been
previously published, or currently accepted for publication.

The editors cannot be held responsible for submissions that are undelivered or lost.

Submission does not guarantee publication. The decision of the editors on the content of the anthology is final. Your submission to the anthology means you accept these rules.

Worldwide copyright for all submissions remains with the authors, but the editors reserve the right to publish the selected submissions in the aforementioned anthology and/or on the Clackswrite webpage.

Editors: Tom Murray, Stuart Hepburn and A.N. Other.
