The Caribbean Writer has announced a submissions call for its
24th edition. Besides the usual poetry, short fiction and personal
essays, critical articles and insights on Trevor Rhone and Wayne
Brown are specifically being sought for a special section. The
deadline for submissions is Nov. 30, 2009.
As usual, the Caribbean should be central to the work or the work
should reflect a Caribbean heritage, experience or perspective.
Writers are encouraged to submit poems, short stories, personal
essays and one-act plays. Only previously unpublished work will be
considered. (If self-published, give details.) Include brief
biographical information and put name, address, telephone number,
email address and title of manuscript on a separate sheet of paper.
Only the title should appear on the manuscript.
All submissions are eligible for the following prizes: The Canute
A. Brodhurst Prize for best short story; The Daily News Prize for
best poetry; The David Hough Literary Prize to a Caribbean author;
The Marguerite Cobb-McKay Prize to a Virgin Island author; and The
Charlotte and Isidor Paiewonsky Prize for first time publication in
The Caribbean Writer.

Islands, RR 1, Box 10,000, Kingshill St. Croix, VI 00850-9781 or
