PATRICK LENTON stories have appeared in publications such as The Best Australian Stories 2007, The Age and Voiceworks Magazine. He is also a keen writer of theatre and an absurd literature and wine blogger- http://bookimdrinking.blogspot.com

JAMES McLOCKLOIN (né McLOUGHLIN) is up to something. Withdrawn to the tall tower of his cold and lonely keep, he casts an eye, ‘midst cobweb and dust-cloud, over arcane tract of ancient script.’ Under the cloak of a multifarious title (among them: Jan van Vliet, The Handsome Client, and G. Shankly Shakespeare), he plots assumption of universal fame, and wealth, upon which, he swears quite sweetly, he’ll turn it over for good.

LAURA MIDDLEBROOK is a Creative Writing student at Griffith University. Next year she will travel to Copenhagen, Denmark to study literature. Her microfiction collection -Does God Read Fiction?- will debut in 2010.

FAVEL PARRETT is a Victoria writer who loves to surf in the Southern Ocean. In 2009 she was awarded a Mentorship from the Australian Society of Authors and is currently working on her novel, Crack Wattle.

JOSEPHINE ROWE's poetry and short fiction have been published in HEAT, Island, Overland, Best Australian Poems and The Age, and read on Radio National and Vision Australia Radio. Her most recent book is How a Moth Becomes a Boat, a collection of very short stories. She is currently poetry editor for harvest.

CHRIS SOMERVILLE is a writer who lives in Queensland. His short stories have appeared in Voiceworks magazine and the Lifted Brow.

DANIEL WALKER writes micro fictions and short stories. He reads and performs as part of BURN and Small Room writers collectives.

Small Room is now accepting submissions for Issue One, due out mid-Novemberish. As Small Room is an ongoing production, released in a flurry fortmonthly (roughly once per season), submissions never close. If, however, you are keen to have your work considered for Issue One, please send fiction under 1,000 words, poetry of all lengths (epic included) as well as artwork to editor@smallroom.com.au. Send it now. We accepted all formats, but prefer .doc or .rtf text files and .tiff or .jpg art files. If your work is accepted, we will let you know a few weeks before the issue debuts. So, like, any day now. Compensation will then be drafted and sent.
