To create an appropriate atmosphere for this year’s conference, the AAWP conference committee is seeking submissions of short creative works (up to 500 words) to be read out (by the author) during break times. We are particularly keen to receive works that explore:

· Hauntings in the Australian landscape
· Adaptations of ghost tales from other countries
· Recontextualising of familiar ghosts

Your poems and stories need to be received by 31 July 2015. Writers will be notified of which texts have been selected for performance by 30 September 2015. Please send all submissions to Rachel.LeRossignol@vu.edu.au
