Markings is a literary magazine with a lively editorial style and a commitment to quality, founded in 1995, it consistently features nationally and internationally established authors from Britain and abroad. It also seeks new talent, working closely with writers’ groups and libraries across the country to find tomorrow’s literary stars. Allied to the poetry performance space, The Bakehouse at Gatehouse-of-Fleet, Markings brings writers directly to people, in print, in performance and on film and the Internet and carries features on art and reviews which aim to review work you won’t find in the High Street bookstore but which is shaping today’s literary culture.See www.thebakehouse.info Submissions policy: Markings will consider unsolicited submissions of poetry, fiction, artwork and criticism. Forward work to submissions@markings.org.uk in electronic format, preferably using Microsoft Word or as rich text/plain text in other word processors. Further details on website. Deadline for next issue is 7 August.
