Edible Ink, Part 2

Photo sourced from the magazine's website

dotdotdash is another literary publication that focuses on sourcing young, fresh talent from emerging writers and artists - perfect for finding a home for something inconceivably awesome that you've written/are writing for NYWM.

They are based in Western Australia, which I think is nice because when you think of a literary journal or magazine you immediately think that it would be put together somewhere in Melbourne or Sydney.

Something else I particularly like about dotdotdash is their category of submissions they call 'Draw Writes'. This is where an artist and writer collaborate on a piece for submission. Which is great really, because artists and writers have so much in common - we both inhabit cafes, alleyways, our small apartments and even late night buses. Oh, and we create stuff. Artistic collaboration sounds like a fun process, and I think more literary magazines should jump at this idea.

Here's what dotdotdash has to say for itself:

dotdotdash is a tri-annual publication that calls Perth, Australia home. Staffed by volunteers, dotdotdash Magazine exists to bring artists and writers to the fore. We publish all genres of poetry, short fiction and creative non-fiction, comics, illustrations, drawings, and photos.

You could be here. Submit! Participate! Get involved! We want you.

Personally I think their message couldn't be clearer. So what are you waiting for? Pop over to their website and submit something! The theme for there next issue (Issue 8) is 'Gambit' - but hurry, because submissions close Monday 27 June.
