Ulla’s Nib

Welcome to the second issue of Ulla’s Nib, the new magazine which focuses on new writing from the North of Ireland and on the literary scene here. We are still finding our feet, and welcome your feedback and views on the sort of articles and stories you would like to see. With a print run of a thousand, distributed throughout Northern Ireland libraries and other outlets, and through our members and writing groups, as well as a downloadable version available at www.ullasnib.co.uk, we hope to create a showcase and common space for all local writers.

We welcome all submissions from Northern Irish writers, resident or born, and it is your work that will ultimately create most of the magazine. From now on, we will have a fifty pound prize for the best submission
we use in each issue, whatever its nature or genre. The closing date for submissions to the third issue is September 18th, but please send in your work as soon as possible to help our production schedule. It also helps a lot if we can get your submissions electronically; we can use hard copy, but cannot accept hand written work. The next issue will come out around Halloween,
and we would particularly welcome submissions which have a seasonal flavour or something of the night about them. Thanks to everyone who helped make Ulla’s Nib what it is, and to those who spoke kindly of issue one.
