Sweet Ubod for Unpublished Writers
If you write serious poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and play in any Philippine language and English, have been published in school folios, newspapers, magazines, journals, or anthologies but never in book form with your name as the sole byline, then you have got us covered. The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) invites you to be among the thirty (30) talented but otherwise unpublished writers for Ubod The New Authors Series.
The NCCA would be delighted to accept your manuscripts of either of the following: 20-40 poems; 5-10 short stories; 5-20 creative non-fiction; or one play on or before November 30, 2002. Your works will be printed in chapbook form, meaning something like 50 pages is allotted for each of your literary debut. The series is really meant to introduce you to the literary community; the chapbook is your first taste of ubod, the sweet core of palm or bamboo, the heart of writing shared with others. A pool of literary heavyweights will pick the thirty most promising voices in Philippine writing.
Send your curriculum vitae and manuscripts (double space, 12 fonts) in hard copy and electronic file to Glenn Maboloc, Public Affairs and Information, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, 633 Gen. Luna St., Intramuros, Manila. For questions, dial 527-2192 local 614 or 527-5529.
