Prize winning writers to be included in New Writing Dundee

New Writing Dundee, Dundee's première literary anthology, would like to announce that this year's publication will be honoured to feature work from the prize-winning poet Douglas Dunn as well as poetry and poems from Tom Bryan, Cynthia Rogerson, Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Andrew Murray Scott. This fourth issue will also include an interview with the author of The Short Day Dying, Peter Hobbes.

This year's publication will follow last year's format by highlighting the work of award winning authors along side pieces from the general public. Rachel Marsh, New Writing Dundee's editor says, 'We hope that this book can highlight all that Dundee's publishing industry has to offer-both new talent and new fiction by known authors.' She continues to state, 'This is an excellent opportunity for those just beginning to seek a publishing venue, as the majority of the anthology will be reserved for unsolicited pieces.'

New Writing Dundee will accept submission through 30 November, please go to www.literarydundee.co.uk/newwriting.htm for more information.
