MidnightSun has been very busy behind the scenes lately, planning this year and beyond. Although we are currently snowed under with interesting manuscripts and in the process of reading them all, we have decided on a couple of projects for this year.

We are going to step into children’s book publishing for the first time with Jane Jolly and Sally Heinrich’s beautiful One Step at a Time about the relationship between a young boy and his elephant. This bright and moving picture book will be a gorgeous present for all the little ones.

We are also delighted to announce that we will be publishing an anthology of new stories from some of the best writers to come out of the writing programs at The University of Adelaide. Lynette Washington will be editing the volume, which is currently open for submissions. The theme is ‘beauty’. Anyone who has studied creative writing at The University of Adelaide is encouraged to send their work to lynette.washington@adelaide.edu.au by 21 March 2014.
