MUSE 4: Better Sorry Than Safe

Now inviting SUBMISSIONS

Muse
is back. We are looking for submissions in all literary genres from all
writers, Australian and international. We especially want work that
teeters on the brink of going too far. If you feel you’ve left the
established guidelines behind and you’re not even sure if works, but
you damn well like it anyway, then that’s the piece we want. Think
daring, rather than experimental. Less avant garde and more krump circa
2001. When choosing what to submit, keep in mind the golden rule:
better sorry than safe.
All submissions published will enter the Muse/UMPA Creative Writing Prize. Prizes will be announced shortly.

We are also seeking submissions of original artwork. Further details on appropriate formats will soon be available.

SUBMISSIONS close on the 1st of September, 2008

Details of submission will shortly be available on the website.

MUSE and VIGNETTE PRESS are collaborating.

We’re
still working out the details, but Muse and Vignette will be
collaborating to bring an unnervingly gifted bunch of writers to the
Australian reader. Coming at you like a posse of nouvelle vagaries.
We’ve still got our thinking caps on, but we hope to be involving
contributors to Muse 4: Better Safe Than Sorry in our plans.

VIGNETTE
PRESS is one of Australia’s most innovative and vibrant small
publishers. They are the bright sparks behind the Mini Shot series, the
Sex Mook and the upcoming Death Mook.
