Read This Magazine is coming up 6 issues old and we're still going strong. We're on the lookout for fresh, original and awesome writing for our publication, which is run by writers and totally not-for-profit.
Read This: WHAT WE DO
- accept all kinds of writing -- poetry, short fiction, articles, rants, essays and songs -- as well as artwork to make our covers beautiful
- accept submissions from everyone -- no matter what your age, nationality or ability
- read every single submission we get, and respond individually to everyone
- provide detailed feedback on the pieces we turn down, if requested
- provide two free copies of the magazine to anyone printed in it
- judge the submissions we receive solely on merit
- credit everyone whose work we publish
Read This: WHAT WE DON'T DO
- just publish our friends or people we know
- court famous writers to raise our profile, schmooze on forums and blogs, or engage in any of the other snobbery so sadly prevalent in the literary world
- alienate, insult or upset anyone who contacts us (if we do -- we didn't mean to! Tell us about it, quick!)
- insist on a zillion submission rules... just send your stuff!
You can learn all about us on our website at www.readthismagazine.co.uk -- find out who we are, what we're about, and how to submit. You can also read heaps of great writing on the website, as well as finding out how to get your hands on the print magazine. (Please note that the site is being totally revamped at present -- so apologies in advance for any glitches!)
You can send your work to submissions@readthismagazine.co.uk -- send submissions any time, we're always after a good read.

Read This Magazine is about to turn 6, with a fantastic issue featuring heaps of excellent prose and poetry -- as always -- as well as artwork from the highly talented CheshireSpider. To celebrate, the RT team are holding a huge party at Forest, on Bristo Place, Edinburgh. If you're from the area (or even if you're not!), you are more than welcome to attend -- come along at 8.30pm on 12th April for a night of literary loveliness.
On the bill: Chris Lindores ( non-the-road ), Lindis Kipp ( lindindin ), Charlotte Runcie, Misa Klimes and RT's very own Lucy Baker ( tangerinedreams ) -- plus sweet sweet music courtesy of Ms Alice Challiner.
If you can't make this event, we suggest that you still check out the Read This website -- www.readthismagazine.co.uk -- we want to hear from you!

Sentinel Literary Quarterly Poetry Contest
A message from our Editor in Chief, Claire!:
Very exciting news: I have been asked to judge a poetry competition! The Sentinel Literary Quarterly is a fabulous London-based magazine dedicated to publishing world literature: everything from poetry to plays, essays to reviews. Every quarter, they hold a poetry competition with a top prize of £100, to seek out and reward great writing. And I'm very pleased to announce that for the latest contest, they've asked me to be their poetry judge.
The contest is open to all -- you can enter regardless of age, experience or your location in the world. The only rules are these:
* Poems must be 40 l
Still hilarious after all these years.

At the Read This Bookstore, you can buy any copy of Read This, past or present. You can also buy a brand new shiny for either six months or twelve, or an equally shiny but less brand new retroactive subscription. You'll soon be able to buy the books produced by Read This Press there, too!
Happy shopping, guys!
PS: we just printed the brand new Read This Issue 14 and I genuinely believe it's our best yet. T
Guest bloggers and poets needed!
Hey guys,
One Night Stanzas, my brand new blog for young writers, has been up and running for about a fortnight now, and so far I've had a very positive response from all you dA-dwellers, and from poets and editors far and wide. In case you don't know, the blog is all about helping young and uncertain poets to realise their writing potential - to improve their work, gain confidence and hopefully publish their poems and get themselves "out there"! Some of the best of the past fortnight's posts are these:

It's awesome to see someone willing to give new writers a chance. I sent in two prose submissions.
