New Online Journals I'm Digging

February 3, 2010

Tags: Clapboard House, Still: The Journal, Southern Women's Review

Clapboard House: Okay, so this little gem has been around for a couple of years. But it's new to me, and I LOVE it. Check out the new essay "Plot is Fiction: or How I Confuse Students to Write Well" by Laura Valeri. An upcoming issue will feature work inspired by Eudora Welty.

Still: The Journal: This new beauty features contemporary writing about Central Appalachia and the Mountain South. Headed up by Silas House, Marianne Worthington, and Jason Howard. Nice debut, guys.

Southern Women's Review: Inspired by (but not affiliated with) the Berry College Southern Women Writers' Conference. The debut issue features work by Kat Meades, Beebe Barksdale-Bruner, Andrea Selch, Jessie Carty, Susan Meyers, and many other talented writers. Check it out.

Woke up this morning to find a sight for sore eyes: an email from Rusty Barnes, editor of the blogozine Fried Chicken and Coffee, saying that he is nominating my story "Justice Boys" for a Million Writers Award.

How 'bout that?

I'm proud to be nominated with fellow FCAC contributors Jim Parks, for his amazing story "Blind Lemon," and Sheldon Lee Compton, for his brilliant story "Bent Country."

Read all three nominated stories here.
