glasgow2saturn

Thank you to everyone who’s submitted their work for the next issue of From Glasgow to Saturn. Submissions are now closed, and we’ll be spending the next couple of weeks sifting through all your fabulous words to choose the content for Issue 24, which we’re aiming to publish before Christmas.

We’re also thrilled to announce that Spring 2012 will see the production of From Glasgow to Saturn‘s first ever themed issue, with the theme of TRANSFORMATION.  We welcome any interpretation on this theme in any genre.  Submissions will be open in February, so now’s the time to get thinking!

Submission deadline – Issue 24

glasgow2saturn

Thank you to those of you who have already submitted to us for the next issue. We’re aiming to get this issue live before Christmas, so the deadline for submissions will be Monday 28th November.

 As ever we will consider anything that’s beautifully written and falls within our submission guidelines . Just a quick word for our fantastic prose writers: From Glasgow to Saturn‘s word limit may well be 3,000 words, but your story may not necessarily need to be 2,999 words long.  We love to read well-written short fiction, as well as your lovely longer pieces. Less can be more people, less can be more.

Writer Talks

glasgow2saturn

Another great talk organised by Glasgow University Writers, with a few places up for grabs for From Glasgow to Saturn subscribers.  If you’d like to attend send us an email at fromglasgowtosaturn@glasgow.ac.uk and we’ll forward on your details to GUW.

Douglas Jackson Event

Glasgow University Writers are delighted to announce that Douglas Jackson will be coming to chat with us on 1st December, 5.30-7.30pm.

Douglas left school before the age of sixteen, and lucky chance took him to a youth placement scheme restoring a Roman marching camp in the Cheviot Hills, and his lifelong fascination with history took root. 

To date he has published three historical novels, Caligula – now translated into eleven languages – Claudius, and most recently Hero of Rome. This last novel is the beginning of a trilogy, with Defender of Rome and Avenger of Rome to follow.

Douglas worked as a journalist for over thirty years and was the Assistant Editor of The Scotsman until 2009, when he left journalism to write full-time.

This event will be held in the Edwin Morgan Room, No 5 University Gardens.  As usual, GUW invite you to bring along something to drink if you like, and will be providing glasses & a few nibbles.

If you can’t attend this event but are interested in future ones let us know & we’ll send you a schedule.

Best wishes

Glasgow University Writers
