The Australian Association of Writing Programs

SWAMP – An Online Magazine for Creative Writing Post-Grads – is a new publication brought to you by the Creative Writing Post-Graduate Workshop of the University of Newcastle.

The magazine will appear three times a year, starting in June 2008.

SWAMP has been set up specifically to promote the writing of post-grad creative writers. We are therefore looking for submissions of previously unpublished poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction and memoir from writers who are currently enrolled in a creative writing post-graduate program – from Honours Students through to PhD candidates.

SWAMP is not a refereed journal and will not publish research, or scholarly, essays.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions of poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction or memoir should be sent to

swampwriting@gmail.com

Please attach your piece separately and make sure to include your name, contact email and the name of the University you attend. Submissions for prose should not exceed three thousand words. Poets should send no more than three poems for consideration at any one time.

Please type ‘Short Fiction’, ‘Poetry’, ‘Creative Nonfiction’ or ‘Memoir’ in the subject bar (depending on the submission) to ensure that your piece is processed by the appropriate editor in due course.

All submissions will be read and replied to ASAP.

The closing date for submissions for our June issue is Friday May 23. Any submissions after this date will be considered for the following issue.
