New opportunities for writing and art based submissions in the North

In the last few days I've come across a few new opportunities for both writing and art based submissions from Northern sources. I've listed them with their links below. There are some exciting new inititives, good luck to all involved. Submissions are not restricted to those from the North of the country.


Honest Ulsterman - a new publication (based on an old one) that's now open to submissions. It has a facebook site here  but, there currently seems to be more information available from its twitter feed @HonestUlsterman. It has a particular interest in Northern Ireland focused work, but not exclusively. Looking for poetry, short stories, reviews and essay proposals. Send to honestulsterman@gmail.com 
Stated preferences on twitter - 'cities, myths, modernism, psychogeography, people turning into bicycles, Borges, Brautigan & Beckett over bogland & Betjeman'
