A new online magazine, based in Australia and featuring poetry, fiction and non-fiction is calling for trans-Tasman submissions for its forthcoming issue in April 2005.

'A snorkel is a means of exploration. A snorkel allows you to breathe while navigating a totally new world, where the light looks different, and where you might find any number of bright things. We want Snorkel to be just like this; a link between readers and words that live just below the surface, waiting to be discovered.' This from the editors.

By all means, send off your finest work – they’re asking for up to 5 poems and/or 2 prose pieces, in either Word or Rich Text Format documents to snorkel@exemail.com.au. You've got until 1 February next year, so there's all the sun, sand and sea air of the Chrissie hols to get inspired by. Or not. Bloody weather.
