I didn't see anything about submissions for southword until now. Deadline was the end of March. Any idea if that is hard and fast or if I put something in the post tommorrow might it sneak in?
(I've had a mixed week so far, be nice...)
Hi EW
Sorry, the issue is done and dusted at this stage. The next issue will just contain my winners and runners-up for the Seán O Faoláin award which has a closing date of the end of July. See www.munsterlit.ie
I've had a week of rejections: 3 today already. Argghh!
But, I'm off to Cúirt tomorrow so that's keeping me going.
How did the Hennessy's go, or is that part of the mixed week? (I saw your post re the PJ's too).
Chin up; it can pnly get better. We soldier on and all that...
