For 2012, ITCH expects to continue to attract the diverse range of submissions from writers and artists that has characterized the past nine issues of the online magazine. We would like to expand this further by placing attention on growing the 'MetaText' section of the website. This section invites 'non-fiction' pieces - broadly conceived as any form of expression that comments upon an existing work (such as in the form of a book or exhibition review, or an essay about a cultural phenomenon) or aspect of social, economic or cultural life (such as in the form of an opinion piece or essay). With this in mind, ITCH would welcome any proposals by writers (established or 'emerging') to contribute regular MetaText columns or guest editorials to the magazine. To discuss this possibility, contact the editor (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
