PFN – Annual Ambit Competition for Poems and Stories
We are publishing QR codes to take us out of paper and into new realms.
Poems
You may submit as many poems as you like. £6 per single poem, and if you send enough to hit £30, we’ll give you a subscription (free to UK, postage of £20 to Europe, £30 to Rest of the World – these are the times we’re in…). Ambit is a charity offering ladders into literature and the arts through publication). If you are outside the financial system or experiencing extreme hardship, please email us, and for unwaged, students, £4 per single poem.
Stories
You may submit multiple entries, each for £6 a submission. Same rules apply as above.
Stories can take whatever form, but we’re looking at shorter work, so 500-4000 words, and we can publish more shorter pieces. Please include the word count on your story (with the title) but add your name and address on the cover letter only, as per poems. This is because we like to read ‘blind’ in the first instance to avoid bias for past contributors etc. Please send your writing as a PDF/Pages/Word/rtf file.
