It’s been a busy two months behind the scenes for us since we wrapped our successful Boosted crowdfunding campaign. The Headland team has been focusing on logistics, reading submissions, and planning for the very first edition. On the 1st of September we opened for submissions, and we’re thrilled to be receiving your stories from New Zealand, and all around the world!

It is our mission to showcase the best of New Zealand writing (send us your stories, Kiwis!), and to include some great international submissions too. We’ve been so happy to receive work from unpublished writers – one of our aims is to provide a place for aspiring writers to see their stories in print, and share their talents. If you have submitted a story, thank you! As we state on our guidelines, we aim to accept or decline submissions within two months, so we appreciate your patience as we read, read and read!

Don’t forget, if you’ve been meaning to submit a story for consideration for our first edition, our deadline is the end of the day this Friday, 17th October! We are looking forward to hearing from you. See our submission guidelines for more information.
