Descant wants bloggers in residence

Descant, one of Canada's oldest and most respected literary quarterlies, is looking for freelance "writers in residence" to contribute to their blog.

As an accompaniment to our main site, the Descant blog is a thoughtful literary environment that keeps its readers in the know about national calls for submissions, launches, readings, and all things literary. Rather than limiting itself to an event announcer, Descant's lit-blog also offers stunning original content generated by resident writers, and allows for the creative expansion of our acclaimed quarterly print journal.

Writers are asked to commit to do 8 postings over 16 weeks, though the magazine will consider a "large singular work" that would be serialized into 8 posts. Further information on terms and conditions can be found by e-mail (managing.ed@descant.ca) or by phoning Managing Editor Mark Laliberte (who is also managing editor of the twice-annual Carousel magazine) at 416.593.2557.
