BLOCK - ANU Writers Literary Journal

We're back...

Cara — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 05:05:37 -0500

A while ago, a guy named Bill was feeling a bit wistful and asked, 'What’s in a name?' A couple of years later, two young editors are asking the same question.

Next year, we’re launching a new journal that'll offer publishing opportunities for writers, artists, poets and essayists from the ACT and surrounds. The first thing we need, though, is a name, and that's where you come in.

Think of a name for the new journal - a Canberra reference, a catchy quip, a memorable line, or a pithy word - and (aside from the immortality that'll be yours) we'll give you a copy of each issue as they're published. So, get your thinking caps on and tell us: what's in a name?

Flick your suggestions to Patrick and Cara at canberrajournal@gmail.com by 1 December 2011.

Keep an eye out for our call for submissions and new website soon.

It's almost here: Block 10.

We've been hard at work, juggling stories, poems and writings of yours, and we're almost ready to publish: just a couple of things left to do before we take it to the printers and bring it to a bookshop for you, our precious readers, to read and fawn over.

So watch this space - Block 10, coming very very soon!
