Midnight Echo magazine

Midnight Echo 11 opens to submissions on July 1

The Midnight Goblins, Kaaron Warren and I are excited to announce that Midnight Echo 11 will be open to submissions from July 1 through to October 31. Submissions will be open to all Australian and New Zealand writers, and you can find the full guidelines here.

Kaaron is busily reading all of the original pieces, and we hope to get in contact with everyone by the beginning of July. If you are advised that a story you submitted last year has not been accepted, we hope you will try again with a second piece.

In the brief time that the Midnight Goblins allowed me to speak with Kaaron, she said, “I’m thrilled that Midnight Echo 11 is off and running again. I’ve had a heap of truly sinister, original stories submitted and I’m looking forward to reading more when the submission period opens again. Creep me out, people!”

I’m also very happy to report that I, Cassie Britland, will now be staying on as Executive Editor. Maybe it’s a form of Stockholm syndrome, but I’m quite fond of this magazine and all the ghouls associated with it. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Midnight Echo 11 will be released in ebook form in April 2015. You can read the AHWA’s full announcement in the members section of their website.
