As I’ve been combing through Duotrope, New Pages, and Poets & Writer’s in search of new markets to submit my writing to over the past few weeks I’ve slowly come to the realization that Philadelphia has a promising up-and-coming literary scene! Not that Philadelphia shouldn’t naturally be super literary and cultural–it is one of theContinue reading “Philadelphia Literary Journal Pride”

To the Glitter End . . . Get Your Nailpolish Stories Published!
I’ve heard a lot of people wonder aloud who the lucky guy is who gets to invent awesome crayon color names for a living (did you know there’s 120 core Crayola color names?). Seriously, can you imagine coming up with brilliant creative names like “macaroni and cheese” and “mango tango” and getting paid for it?Continue reading “To the Glitter End . . . Get Your Nailpolish Stories Published!”
Published in The Susquehanna Review: “What to Expect While Grieving for Your Father”
Lots of good news! As some of you know, I had a story accepted by the national undergraduate literary journal, The Susquehanna Review, back in June.* This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for the 2011-2012 issue which means that: My short non-fiction piece, “What to Expect While Grieving forContinue reading “Published in The Susquehanna Review: “What to Expect While Grieving for Your Father””
Perks of Being A “Jersey Girl”
1. Cheap gas that someone else pumps for me 2. Jersey tomatoes (taste so much better than Pennsylvania ones) 3. Jersey corn (can you tell I’m thinking about summer and gardens?) 4. Jersey Devil Press, an online literary journal that has some really impressive content and one I’m looking forward to submitting to! (Thanks goContinue reading “Perks of Being A “Jersey Girl””
The Literary World Heard Our Prayers and Answered
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”
WOW! A Great Writing Contest for Women
Sorry guys, bad news. This writing contest is only for females (I know! Sorry!) WOW! stands for Women on Writing, you see. But ladies, this is good news for you because it instantly cuts out half of the competition. Another thing that’s cutting down the competition is the fact that they’re limiting the contest toContinue reading “WOW! A Great Writing Contest for Women”
Poor Choices: Posting Your Book on Your Blog
Should you post your book chapters on your blog? This is a constant point of debate for bloggers and there are two loyal camps who constantly battle over it. Every time I stumble across another blog pondering the idea, I reiterate my points and I figured that I would announce them once and for allContinue reading “Poor Choices: Posting Your Book on Your Blog”
Submit to Sucker: A Debuting Young Adult Fiction Literary Magazine
Are you a YA writer who’s having trouble finding a place to submit your work, let alone get it published? I noticed when reading the SCBWI newsletter that most recent YA and middle grade writing has been published by a select group of magazines: Highlights, Cicada, and Cricket being the top three. Not that theseContinue reading “Submit to Sucker: A Debuting Young Adult Fiction Literary Magazine”
Submit to the Gary Fincke Creative Writing Prize
The competition for The Susquehanna Review’s Gary Fincke Creative Writing Prize is less steep than it is for other literary journals. Though it’s nationally distributed, it only accepts submissions from current undergraduates. As I’ve mentioned before, you want to submit to writing contests that narrow down the pool as much as possible, so if you’reContinue reading “Submit to the Gary Fincke Creative Writing Prize”
