Aotearoa Indie publishing: Ngā Pukapuka Pekapeka

 

This is an exciting, rare opportunity for publication of chapbook/small collection sized bodies of work.

ngā pukapuka pekapeka is open for submissions. Aotearoa New Zealand resident writers only.

We are looking for work:

• that pushes boundaries (content and/or form)
• that is confident both on the page and on the stage

We are interested in short stories, poetry collections and novellas. We have a particular interest in writers from Te Waipounamu, tangata whenua, and emerging writers, though we are open to all writers living in New Zealand.

We are open to submissions of approximately 40 document pages (conventional submission formatting- double spaced, 12pt font). If yours is more or less than this, tell us why. We’re flexible if the length fits the form. If you are sending us a collection, give it a title. Submissions will be considered by our editorial collective as a whole.

Part of publication will involve readings and live events in Te Waipounamu, and our authors will need to be in, or able to travel to, Ōtautahi for these.

Submissions are due on 31 May.

Send your work to ngapukapukapekapeka@gmail.com.
