Hello, Brian.

At Diaspora Dialogues were always looking for new works by young writers to publish on our webzine Shorthand.

If you would be so kind as to distribute this submissions call, it'd be much appreciated! Have an excellent day,

Diaspora Dialogues Shorthand Submissions Call - ongoing deadline!

Folks refer to you as “youth.” You’re somewhere in the age range of 16-25, love to express yourself through writing, and have a poem, short story, play, excerpt from a piece of creative non-fiction or novel, or a comic (or all of the above!) to your name.

Now what?

New Voices, a special section of Diaspora Dialogues’ monthly webzine Shorthand, is ready to receive and present the writings of Toronto’s next generation of richly diverse young writers.

Are you one of these new voices? If so, this is your chance to be heard!

Send us your work for an opportunity to see it published online alongside those of established Canadian writers as well as emerging writers from our celebrated mentoring program.

Send the submission form and your work as 2 separate attachments via email to Rebecca at: rebecca@diasporadialogues.com
