harvest magazine looking for submissions

harvest is seeking fiction and non-fiction between 3,500 and 6,000 words and poetry up to 100 lines for its inaugural issue. Brought together by students of RMIT’s Professional Writing and Editing course,harvest magazine is (in their own words) "born out of our desire to produce a tactile and engaging publication for a well-read audience. An audience who believes that good writing can be both attractive and intelligent." They are interested in nurturing new and emerging writing, but also welcome submissions from more established writers, and they say they'll provide feedback on any work you submit.

Send them a pitch for your non-fiction idea or mail them your stories and poems. Closing date for non-fiction pitches is November 2. Closing date for final non-fiction, fiction and poetry submission is November 30. Payment is $100 for non-fiction and fiction pieces, $60 for a single poem and $100 for a poetry feature.

For more information and detailed submission guidelines, please visit their website: http://harvestmagazine.wordpress.com/

(Interestingly, the word "postmodern" is banned from use in author bios. Do you feel gypped? I know I do.)

This looks like a handy opportunity to follow up. What is the point of your CIT training though if you can't bio yourself as postmodern?

I know! It looks as though I'm going to be left with the old stand-by: explaining the postmodern condition to people at cocktail parties.

Perhaps explaining the postmodern condition to people at cocktail parties IS the postmodern condition?
