Flax is looking to commission a short fiction and a poem for a pair of limited edition posters to be launched at this year's litfest in Lancaster.

In the first instance, we invite any interested writers, who live or work in
the North West, to send three short fictions (200 words max) or three poems
(20 lines max) by noon on Friday 27 June to flaxbooks@litfest.org.

We will select six writers (three prose writers / three poets) by mid July.
Each of these writers will be paid a flat fee of £150 to write new work by
end of August. Only one poem and one fiction will be selected for the final
designs, by mid September. The other four pieces will be published on the
litfest website.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the editor Sarah Hymas
on 01524 62166 or through sarah.hymas@litfest.org
