National Young Writers’ Festival wants YOU

Submissions are now open for the 2009 National Young Writers' Festival (NYWF) to be held in Newcastle 1 – 5 October. "We are seeking proposals from fiction writers, poets, journalists, zinesters, magazinesters, bloggers, playwrights, editors, curators, independent publishers, critics, activists, media geeks, comics makers, theory-heads, thinkers, performance artists, visual artists--all and sundry Friends of the Word ... to take part in the epic 2009 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 details as required on the submissions form".
