Submissions are now open for our Second Anthology of New Writing on the theme of GATHERING. We are looking for prose (fiction or non-fiction), poetry, and black and white illustration (including graphic work and photography).
After the success of Lost, Looking & Found, we are delighted to have the opportunity to produce a second anthology, in collaboration with Edinburgh Napier University's MSc Publishing course. We are committed to providing a platform for both published and emerging authors. We have invited renowned authors associated with the Edinburgh Literary Salon to contribute, and we're now inviting open submissions.
For our Theme, we have gone right back to the source...
Anthology
/an'θ?l?d?i/
noun.
a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing.
From the Greek anthologia, from anthos ‘flower’ + -logia ‘collection’ (from legein ‘gather’) Literally meaning "a gathering of flowers [of verse]".
And so, our theme is "GATHERING".
We welcome submissions from anyone, especially those who have previously engaged with the Edinburgh Literary Salon and our activities. This includes those who have come along to our Salon events as guests or attendees, and staff and students from Edinburgh Napier University. We are committed to embracing and embedding the principles of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality in the production of this anthology.
Eligible work includes prose (fiction or non-fiction), poetry, and black and white illustration (including graphic work and photography). Prose can be up to 3,000 words in any genre, poetry up to 30 lines, and graphic fiction should be no more than 8 pages. We are open to all creative approaches, but all work must respond to the theme of ‘Gathering’ and be unpublished. We will only accept one submission per person.
