Hello all! Some news: due to a huge backlog of submissions (lovely ones, too!) the Cake team need a breather, and we'll be holding off on taking new submissions until the end of May. Phew! If you do choose to send your work to us in the interim, you'll be setting yourselves up for a bit of a wait for a reply...
All best,
Martha and Andy

Calling all young poets! The wonderful and prestigious Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award 2011 is currently open for entries from budding writers aged 11 - 17. The top fifteen winners recieve a week-long residential writing course with the Arvon Foundation or, if they're a little younger, a poetry residency at their school, followed by a distance mentoring programme.
We can't stress enough what a fantastic opportunity this is - many previous winners have gone on to publish first collections, set up their own magazines (really good ones, even if we do say so ourselves) and to work within the poetry world.
The closing date is 31st July 2011, visit www.foyleyoungpoets.org for full details.
Find here accounts from past winners on what the award meant to them (us!)
