Submissions for the second issue of Canterbury literary mag Catalyst close soon, on 30 January 2004. Editor Doc Drumheller is looking for poetry, prose, fiction, excerpts from scripts, or experimental works.

Drumheller says:

With the success of this first issue we hope to receive submissions from National and International writers, but because the journal is based in Christchurch, local writers will still be in our immediate view and we will undoubtedly continue to support them.

For many this will be their first time in publication, however I was pleased to have received submissions from writers who have been widely published. This is where I want Catalyst to exist: having fresh new talent alongside the experienced and to provide opportunities for these voices to be heard together.

Editorial and submission guidelines are in Catalyst 1. Send your submissions, with a brief contributor’s note and self-addressed envelope, to Doc Drumheller at Catalyst, PO Box 3083, Christchurch, or email him for information.
