An original goal I had for this blog was to provide readers with information about the submission response times for literary journals and magazines I’ve submitted to in the past. However, I’ve noticed myself recently shying away from publications that don’t offer excerpts online; to read the journal and get a vibe of what theContinue reading “For All the Broke Writers: The Citron Review Lets you Read for Free”

Submission Update for Fiction and Non-Fiction
I haven’t posted a Slow Sunday update in a while because, honestly, I’ve been so busy trying to get employed and housed that I haven’t been submitting (or writing much, which is depressing). But things are finally starting to calm down (I am employed and temporarily housed, though I’m search for something more permanent inContinue reading “Submission Update for Fiction and Non-Fiction”
Poll: Rate the Design of Cutbank Literary Journal
While doing my monthly examination of the New Pages [sorry, link won’t work right now] writing contest and call for submission boards (I do best submitting when I have a whole slew of journals and due dates in mind) I stumbled across a lovely journal called Cutbank. They accept fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. They’reContinue reading “Poll: Rate the Design of Cutbank Literary Journal”
Write a Tiny Essay, Win a Tiny Texas House
Tiny animals, tiny teacups, tiny anything, triggers cooing in most humans and I cannot resist saying “it’s so cute!” every time I look at this amazing writing prize. A Tiny Texas House is built of 99% salvaged materials. Basically, it’s an adorable, quaint, and rather small recycled house and you can win one if youContinue reading “Write a Tiny Essay, Win a Tiny Texas House”

How to Delete Paragraphs without Crying
I was getting tired waiting to hear back about the same submissions from the same places and realized that I literally haven’t submitted anything since BEFORE the NYU program. [shocked gasp] Of course, this is not only completely unacceptable, but an unsustainable writing practice. Thanks to Kat over at her blog After I Quit MyContinue reading “How to Delete Paragraphs without Crying”
My Burning House Moment: Going Back for the Memories and the Memoir
I live on the coast of Pennsylvania. This means that if New Jersey someday sinks into the abyss of the Atlantic Ocean, I would have beach front real estate (not that I wanted them to get washed away in the hurricane! I’m not heartless!). So for all of you hearing about New Jersey being aContinue reading “My Burning House Moment: Going Back for the Memories and the Memoir”
This is True Memoir, Honestly!
Back from vacation and ready to dive back into the writing world. During downtime at the shore house I managed to write a new creative non-fiction short story (no title yet, I’m stuck*). I realized earlier this afternoon that nearly all my publishing credits are creative non-fiction, which is strange because I actually consider myselfContinue reading “This is True Memoir, Honestly!”
