BDS Write Now!The initiative is with Markings. Both BDS and Markings have gone from strength to strength since their beginnings, success stories that have been built around an insistence on quality and accuracy. Work will be read, selected and incorporated in each issue of the magazine which is published twice per year. Over the past three issues of Markings, six writers have seen their work in print due to BDS Write Now! Writers can submit as part of a group or as individuals. Each individual may submit up to four poems or a short story or essay no longer than 2000 words. Each submission must be marked "BDS Write Now!" and each page of the submission must be marked with the name of the writer and their contact details, including email address if possible, and the name of the library where the writer learnt of BDS Write Now! “Markings is always looking for new talent. It was why the magazine was founded and why it continues to thrive. We are also keen to extend our readership. Working with BDS is a great opportunity, one that any literary magazine would relish”, comments John Hudson, Editor of Markings. Writers selected to appear in Markings will receive a free copy of the magazine and an invite to the launch of Markings in which their work features. Markings is stocked across Britain, including in the National Theatre Bookshop, London, the Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh and the South Bank Poetry Library. It also has a wide subscription base and BDS sends a complementary copy to every library service in the UK.
