The editors of the Emrys Journal invite submissions of previously unpublished short fiction, poetry, and essays.

The Emrys Journal is, to use the words of an Emrys founder, one outlet for �writers � who [are] in sore need of a place to present their work, an audience to receive the work, and a patron to subsidize the projects.�

Many writers have gotten their start with publication in the Emrys Journal, and we have also been pleased to publish works of the highest quality from respected and established writers.

The Emrys Journal is published each May. Submissions will be accepted between August 1, 2011, and November 1, 2011. No submissions will be read or held before the reading period begins on August 1, 2011.

Founded in 1983, Emrys (a Welsh word meaning �Child of Light�) has sponsored music competitions, concerts, art exhibitions, conferences, creative writing awards, poetry workshops, and lectures. The Emrys Journal, our group�s signature literary publication, has appeared annually since 1984. Emrys Press, launched in 1995, primarily publishes poets of outstanding merit. Our Reading Room has brought writers and audiences together since 1990. Our Writing Room has provided professional instruction for writers at all stages of their craft since 2006 and begun in 2011, our Open Mic, which has provided a venue for writers of all skill levels to present their work to an enthusiastic and supportive audience.

Based in Upstate South Carolina, the Emrys Foundation was awarded the Elizabeth O�Neill Verner Governor�s Award for the Arts in 2004 in recognition of outstanding contributions to the arts in South Carolina.
