Dear Colleagues, Friends, Not-so-Friendly Friends, and Enemies (the living
ones)

This acquaintance of yours now functions/earns his living/kills his
time outside academia (and beyond the world of footnotes and
bibliographies) as an Editor/In Charge of a weekend literary magazine
(presently titled Literati but soon to have a more dignified name and
also more pages) associated with The News (the second largest English
daily in Pakistan). Therefore, you are being asked to submit your book
reviews, short stories, profiles of your favorite writers, literary
essays, poems (here I have to say "only your best poems, please").

The normal length of a submitted work of prose (fiction or book
reviews or literary profiles/essays) should be between 1000 to 1200
words. About poems, you are supposed to be your own judge. For every
accepted/published piece of prose, you will get an honorarium of at
least 1500 Pakistani Rupees. So if you are outside of Pakistan,
consider this only a labor of love because you will lose most of this
income to different bank fees if the cheque reaches you through the
postal system at all.

Our reading cycle is weekly therefore you will get a quick response.
So if you want a sudden break into print and also have an online
presence not to speak of your own (eventual) literary stardom, start
punching those keys. Submit your work as an attached word document to
new.literati at gmail.com and/or to urrehman at gmail.com.

Looking forward to your creative best,

Saeed Ur Rehman
Editor-In-Charge

Please circulate among your writer friends.
