Call for Big Issue Submissions

The Big Issue is calling for submissions to its annual fiction edition for 2011 and – thanks to funding from the Copyright Agency Limited – it's set to be bigger and bolder than ever. Which is no small thing. Last year's edition had a circulation of close to 30,000 nationally and included contributions from Christos Tsiolkas, Linda Jaivin, Toni Jordan and Michel Faber. To submit, send no fewer than three printed (not electronic) copies of your entry (of up to 3000 words) to: Fiction Edition, The Big Issue, GPO Box 4911, Melbourne 3001. Make sure your name and details are included on a removable coversheet. Closing date for entries is Wednesday 1 June. Get writing!
