Muse 4: Better Sorry Than Safe
 Muse is back. We are looking for submissions in all literary genres from all writers, Australian and international. We especially want work that teeters on the brink of going too far. If you feel you’ve left the established guidelines behind and you’re not even sure if it works, but you damn well like it anyway, then that’s the piece we want. Think daring, rather than experimental. Less avant garde and more krump circa 2001. When choosing what to submit, keep in mind the golden rule: better sorry than safe (ask the monkey)
All submissions published will enter the Muse/UMPA Creative Writing Prize. Prizes will announced shortly.
 We are also seeking submissions of original artwork. Further details on appropriate formats will soon be available.
Submissions close on the 1st of September.
