Irish Times Supplement 2012

Fighting Words will publish a magazine of new writing with the Irish Times later this year.  Last year's supplement is available here (Unfortunately, to read the supplement you must be subscribed to the Irish Times).

We are looking for submissions from 13-19 year olds for this year's supplement.

Submission Guidelines
We are looking for short pieces of fiction (any theme).  
Word Count: maximum 1, 500 words
Format: please use Times New Roman, font size 12, double spaced, for submissions.
Include: your name, age, contact details and word count

Please note:  only a limited number of pieces will be published.  These will be selected from all the work submitted.  While the magazine will be predominantly short fiction, if anyone is working on monologues, scripts, poems etc they are welcome to be submitted, as are extracts from longer pieces.  They will all be considered.

Deadline: please submit work by Thursday 1st March, 5.00 pm.  Submissions should be sent to orla@fightingwords.ie

Copies of the magazine will go  out with the Irish Times.  There will be no fee paid for work published.  The newspaper has a very wide circulation, so it is a great opportunity to have a piece of work published.  Again, there is no guarantee that by submitting a piece of work it will be published.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate in contacting Fighting  Words:
