Choose a password that you will remember (it needs to be at least 6 characters).

Click the Create account and continue button

Once you are in, it will ask you for your physical address – so that we can send you your complimentary copy, the biography comes later.

Once you have completed this form, click the save address and continue button at the bottom of the page.

Don’t fill in the state/province (this is only for USA)

It uses the more basic browser form as an alternative. You can use either method.

Please add you biography

You can cut and paste it from an existing document too.

How to submit your work to me

How to submit your work for New Contrast


June 15th, 2008 by Hugh

I only accept electronic submissions unless you have a very good reason for sending me paper. A very good reason would be that you are in prison.

Otherwise, send me your work as an email attachment to newcontrasted@gmail.com. The attachment must be one of three types of document: DOC (Microsoft Word and other programs), RTF (any word processor), TXT (any PC).

If the document is more than a page long, number the pages. Print your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and a brief bio on the first page. Your name must appear on every page.

Spell and grammar check your document - any English grammar is acceptable (UK, US, SA etc.). If there is a form you want to use that is a spelling or grammar mistake, justify it as a note to me - I will be sympathetic.

Send no more than six poems or one prose work at a time, no more than twice a year. Each piece of work must be in a separate document. You can zip all the documents and send as a single attachment.

Be patient: I work alone and will look at your work as quickly as I can. Do not enquire more than once a month. Please.

Enjoy your writing and I will enjoy reading it.
