Submissions for Sweet Mammalian‘s sixth issue and the Wellington LitCrawl micro-residencies close at midnight on 31 July.

There are five micro-residency places available. The micro-residencies will take place over the weekend of Verb’s literary festival in Wellington, November 9-10 2019. The poets will be provided with a gallery space to write in for 2 days, a stipend, and the opportunity to read in the Sweet Mammalian Launch which will take place as part of the LitCrawl on 9 November.

Send up to five poems to sweetmammalian@gmail.com. Let the editors (Rebecca Hawkes and Nikki-Lee Birdsey) know in the email whether you’d like to be considered for the micro-residencies. You can support this with an attached micro-residency application of up to a page about yourself, your work, and what this opportunity would mean for you.

So send in your most thrilling writing this Leo season! All your roars and purrs and beastliest words.
