Calling All Writers

A short time ago I became aware of a new northern periodical, NorthWord, a twice-yearly publication, based out of Fort McMurray. While I find myself pressed, I hope to be able to make the odd contribution. In the past, I've made a modest contribution to a BC-based publication as well as the local newspaper back where I grew up in Ontario, so I relish the opportunity (time permitting) to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard as the case may be, and see what I can come up with.

Each edition has a theme (for the upcoming issue, it is, not suprisingly considering the time of year, "migration." Given that I've spent the last 10 years all over the North, I can certainly relate to this theme. I just have to sit down and hash out a good yarn. Submissions don't necessarily have to be about the North but will be given preference. So....If you're interested (and how could you not be?) you can find further information on the magazine's website, here.. They even have their own Facebook page.
