Remember how I was lamenting the cost of literary journal subscriptions just a few short days ago? Well, someone at Writer’s Relief must have heard our deep sighs of communal depression and is hosting a subscription contest on their website. Read this article, then tweet it, or post about it on your own blog, orContinue reading “The Literary World Heard Our Prayers and Answered”

For All the Broke Writers: The Citron Review Lets you Read for Free
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”
Call for Emerging Western (Region, not Genre) Writers!
For all you writers in the great mid-West and Western sector of the United States who think they have a sense of humor, this themed call for submission is for you! Even if you don’t live there, have you visited? Think you can spin a good yarn off your experiences there? Western State Press, theContinue reading “Call for Emerging Western (Region, not Genre) Writers!”
Chapbook Contest–Poetry, Fiction, and Non-Fiction
On the ride home from work yesterday I got the germ of a new book idea. I want it to be a collection of creative non-fiction essays organized around a theme. Aside from basically everything David Sedaris writes, there aren’t many non-fiction short story collection books for sale in stores. So I was wondering, howContinue reading “Chapbook Contest–Poetry, Fiction, and Non-Fiction”
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!”
