Writers encouraged to submit work to marine-themed journal
Writers inspired by the nature, fisheries and coastal heritage of Maine and beyond are encouraged to submit their work to “The Catch: Writings from Downeast Maine.”
Submissions of poetry, fiction, essay and other prose will be accepted through December for publication in late spring 2016.
The journal is entering its fourth year of publication. Created in 2013, “The Catch” is related to the Downeast Fisheries Trail, a maritime heritage education effort that highlights sites of current and historic fishing interest in Maine’s Hancock and Washington counties and southwest New Brunswick, Canada. “The Catch” considers the region broadly, including all parts of the Maine and Maritime coasts.
New for 2016 is an Emerging Writer category for writers who have not yet been published.
Writers whose work has been published in previous volumes include Ray Beal, Chris Crittenden, Robert Froese, Elizabeth Garber, Valerie Lawson, Carl Little, Carolyn Locke, Paul Molyneaux and Patricia Ranzoni.
“The Catch” is supported by the Maine Sea Grant College Program, as well as the University of Maine’s Raymond H. Fogler Library and DigitalCommons.
