- The Broken Plate is open for submissions until the end of October. This magazine is run by undergraduate students in a literary practicum class at BSU. I can personally vouch the end product as a glow print artifact for holding your words. Think of it this way: service. These are students learning to edit. You could help them along their way. Do send.
- Stoked Press would be, uh, stoked if you would submit. Tyler Gobble likes to wear sleeveless shirts in the spring and you wouldn’t want to bring children to a Layne Ransom reading, if that helps you get mouth-feel for the pub. Submit like a vertebrae.
- The International Algae Competition in Algae Landscape Design is only open until Oct 11! Get growing, I advise. I bet some of you knowledge base hydroponics.
- Hobart needs more stuff about luck. Think of this way: If they accept you, you kick dino-ass. If they blar your work, no worries. It was just bad luck. Here is a pretty epic “wish-list” and I wish more editors would do this, announce what they are thinking, on a rolling level, week to week–I feel it germinates a writer. This list has made me write. I see a future where editors throw out sparks like such as this. Glow.
- Can someone confirm or deny that Brautigan left a suicide note saying “Messy, isn’t it”? It smacks of mean, lazy urban legend and sort of pisses me off.
- Creative Nonfiction would like your “True Crime” stories. All of my favorites are Morrissey songs. No, no, here’s my favorite: I’m a Memphis teenager. I shoplift Pac-man cards. I walk outside the mall and 5 kids surround me, threaten to go exponential on my spleen, rob me, of my stolen cards. Irony? I hate that dumb word. This: welcome to Memphis.
- John Dermot Woods–drawings or words or source material–is bad-ass right here, right now. Just saying.
- Betty has collected 11,020 labels from bananas. In a hundred years, we will know Betty. Us? Never. It makes you wonder.
- Airplane Reading is surprisingly OK, these little flashes about flying on airplanes. They want you. Fly.
- Go right ahead, friend. The entry fee is one dollar, sixty cents.

I don’t know about Brautigan, but when Dead (of Mayhem) killed himself his suicide note apparently ended with “Excuse all the blood.”
Hell. No.
$20 reading fee for a journal? i actually have true crime stuff. i’m hesitant to pay $20 for book contest, so no way I’d spend it just to submit to a journal. sheesh, they must pay big money for every submission they print.
I think it’s $20 for the CNF contest with a $1000 prize for the winner, if I read it right. They seem to have a lot of submission sub guidelines.
FAQ on the marathon page:
What are my odds of getting in?
The entry list and ordered weight list gives preference to those who have a good chance of finishing the race. Nobody has a good chance of finishing the race. One spot is allocated for a sacrificial virgin. That is probably your best hope.
Awesome.
Do you get a subscription? I don’t mind reading fees if I get a subscription and I love the magazine. Usually, if I am entering a contest, I do love the magazine. But with CNF, it might be fucked up. I think I remember they are sort of.
$20 because it’s a theme. for $25 you get a subscription. unless i read it wrong, which is possible. i read it at 7am, mountain time, which for the rest of the world is 9. maybe i wasn’t awake yet.
