Welcome To

Northern Gravy

What do we want?

One word: Writing. If you write, we want to read it. We don’t care about genre or form. We want your poems. We want your lyrics. We want your stories and tales and yarns and novels. We want experimental fiction. We want cosy kitchen sink dramas. We want murder mysteries, local histories and Science Fiction Fantasies. Writing for identity. Writing for posterity. We want your horror. We want your laughter. We want writing for children, for young adults, for actual adults and everything in between.


We want you.

Features

What's it all about?

Ficton

We want to see fiction, regardless of genre, it’s quality that matters. We want work that shows us something: a place, a feeling, a moment, a character. Take us somewhere, take hold of us, and don’t let go.

Poetry

We want to experience poetry that ignites the desolate white spaces of the page and burns brightly long afterwards. Poems that can’t be extinguished in neither a reader’s heart nor head. Poetry that can be eventually owned.

Young Adult

We want to see YA that takes us on an adventure, stories that show us worlds beyond our imaginations. We want to read YA that makes us laugh, makes us cry and allows us to step into the characters lives.
