New Year's Eve (December 31) is the closing date for fiction writers in the Island to submit their stories for inclusion in a new anthology.

'Vertigo' hopes to showcase the Island’s writing talent and will feature short stories, each around 5,000 to 6,000 words in length.

The book will be published in paperback next spring by Nemesis Publishing.... and whilst there are no restrictions in terms of genre or plot, the emphasis will be on dark, edgy drama.

Submissions can be either emailed to nemesispublishing@manx.net or posted to 62 Ballacriy Park, Colby, IM9 4LX.

Hard copies should be double-spaced and typed on one side of the paper only and you should include a stamp addressed envelope if you want your work returned.
