We are reopening for submissions to the summer edition of Vintage Script…but only till the end of the week!
We’ve had more quantity than quality this time, and still have some space to fill with original and well-written stories and articles with historic themes—see the Submissions page on our main website for guidelines.
The new deadline for the summer edition is 11.59pm on Friday 29 June 2012.
To increase your chances of getting published, please note these tips. We are looking for:
Originality
Definition: a unique way with words, denial of clichés and a fresh take on history.
Simplicity
A good piece of writing should resemble a sprig of cherry blossom against a clear sky: understated and striking.
Thoughtful content
The topic we get most of here at VS HQ is the First World War and the Second World War. Of course, they are both deserving subjects, but you’ve got more chance of being published if your piece is both well-written and on less familiar ground.
We love both unpublished writers and those who can contribute regularly to Vintage Script.
I’ll be letting all writers (including those who contributed before the original deadline) know during the week commencing 2 July 2012 whether or not they’ve been selected.
