We are hoping to get copies into many more cities around the world. Issue Three and above will be global!

We have some flyers available for distribution which point readers to our website. If you’d love to help us get the word out about Story To… then email us with your postal address and we’ll send you a bunch to hand out.

Submissions for Issue Three will open shortly. We’re looking for writing (short fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, comics, scripts, song lyrics) and images (photography, illustration, collage) related to transport and movement. The theme will be announced when we open for submissions in December.

We need what you’ve got

After a very successful first issue, Melbourne’s only alternative commuter zine, Story To…, is once again calling for your work.

The theme for Issue Two is “Pod People”. So many people who travel on public transport bury themselves in their music and we want you to help us show them the train station life they are oblivious to. We want to see this reflected in writing (short fiction, poetry, film and theatre scripts, creative non-fiction and song lyrics) and in artwork (photography and graphic design).

Please stick to a limit of 300 – 500 words. The closing date for submissions is Tuesday 30 September 2008. All submissions need to be emailed to storytoproject@gmail.com. Please format text as Times New Roman / size 12 font / single-space with no other formatting.

If you want to discuss your submission ideas with us, or have any general queries, then drop us an email at storytoproject@gmail.com.

Check out our first issue here and browse the rest of our website to get a feel for what we’re about.

We look forward to reading your submissions!
