Our submission window opens tomorrow and closes at the end of June. This time we will be looking for flash fiction, short stories and one scene plays. (Please check our submission guidelines page.)

The public launch will be in the Green Room, at The Black Box, Belfast, on Sunday 14 June, 2pm, and will be in conjunction with Belfast Book Festival.

Entrance is £2 (to cover room hire). Please join us to hear our very talented contributors read their work.

We are also delighted to announce that our editor Kelly Creighton is launching her debut novel ‘The Bones of It’ on Thursday 4 June, 6.30pm in No Alibis, Belfast. The novel is published by Liberties Press. She will also be doing a Literary Lunchtime in the Ulster Hall on 11 June, in conversation with Jan Carson.

This is a great time of the year for Belfast literary lovers. We hope to see a lot of you at the festivities!
