Definitely Superior Art Gallery is excited to announce that we have received new Ontario Arts Council (OAC) funding to be a new publishing house in order to recognize the quality and encourage the development of writers and artists in Northwestern Ontario. Thus, the gallery will now be able to pay artist fees for submissions accepted into our professional publications, and all our publications will be distributed both regionally and nationally (incl. being deposited at Library and Archives Canada). Further info will be announced at our Publishing House Launch Party (including the launch of the 1st issues of "Die Active" & "Squeeze" Zines) on Sat. Dec. 12th.
“FUEL”
Book Anthology ~ Submission Gui
Definitely
Superior Art Gallery is seeking submissions for a new Book Anthology
with the theme and title, FUEL.
The anthology will focus on writing that constitutes, like a force of nature in
power and effect, that which excites, illuminates and transforms, thus making an
elemental expression upon the reader. We welcome contributions from
throughout Northwestern Ontario
and its diverse communities while
maintaining the highest standards
of artistic excellence and aptitude.
An editorial board (made up of volunteers from our diverse literary community)
decides which submissions to accept, while the gallery finances the book and
oversees the publishing process. With
new OAC funding, submissions accepted by FUEL will now be paid a professional
artist fee.
The
Book Anthology, FUEL, will cover a broad range of topics from
contemporary to traditional to experimental writing including: poetry, short
prose -fiction/non-fiction (not historical non-fiction), ephemera,
socio-political commentary, and content far enough outside of the mainstream to
be prohibitive of inclusion in more traditional media.
Submission
Eligibility:

Living in
OR former resident of Thunder Bay or Northwestern Ontario. (Former
residents are eligible to submit, but are asked to indicate how long they lived
in Thunder Bay, when they moved away, and what current connections they have

2. Members of the editorial committee are welcome to submit works, and their submissions will be reviewed in accordance with the conflict of interest policy (i.e. they will not be involved in making decisions on their own submissions)
