Transportation Press, Tasmania’s newest publisher, is calling for short story submissions …
Rachel Edwards
… for its second book, The Third Script
The Third Script will include stories from Tasmania, the UK and Iran, and further Transportation Press’ aim to illuminate Tasmanian literature through inspired connections.
Transportation Press was pleased to see their first publication, Islands and Cities, a collection of new short stories from London and Tasmania, knock Richard Flanagan off the number one best seller for the first time since his Booker win.
Rachel Edwards, editor in chief says “I am delighted to be working again with Sean Preston as our UK editor and to welcome Shirindokht Nourmanesh, who will select and edit our Iranian writers.”
“We welcome the opportunity to publish excellent new literature from Tasmania and to open up our writers to more international collaborations,” she added.
Short stories of up to 5000 words will be considered and must be submitted before August 18. Selected writers will be paid $250 AUD and the book will be published in late 2015.
Submissions, accompanied by a 50 word bio, can be sent to transportationalmanac@gmail.com
