Submit a News Item

How to submit a News Item
We publish a wide selection of news of interest to writers, including competitions, events, readings, exhibitions, websites etc. Submit your news to our database via the form below. Items are checked by an editor and then released to the appropriate news page, usually within 2 working days. If we feel your item is suitable for the front page too, we'll also feature it there.

Guidelines

1. Your news item should be relevant to writers. We also feature general arts, academic and online news if we feel it would be of interest to our users, but reserve the right not to display your item if it does not meet those criteria. For websites, ezines, etc., please indicate whether you are looking for readers, or for contributors as well.

2. Please use sentence case throughout. That means writing your entry in lower case, using capitals only for the beginning of sentences and proper nouns - just the way this page is written. DON'T SHOUT IN CAPITALS!

3 When adding the date, avoid transatlantic confusion by always entering the day first and then the month , and don't forget to put in the year, e.g., 14/01/01 for 14th January 2001.

4 Items are more likely to be featured on the front page if they fit in with the general style of trAce. Familiarise yourself with current news to get a sense of the style of writing we feel is most effective.

5 If your browser does not support forms, you can email your news in plain text format to trace@ntu.ac.uk .

6 Read through and check your text before submitting, paying special attention to the accuracy of dates, urls and email addresses.

7 We reserve the right to refuse to display any item which breaches our Code of Conduct. .
