If you haven’t listened to me about this yet, now is the time to finally go check out SUB-LIT

Art: We’re open to just about anything, so long as it’s good. We are especially interested in forms that aren’t often taken “seriously,” such as tattooing/flash, comics, etc. We especially encourage photography. Our aesthetic is “edgy,” but that’s certainly open to interpretation, so don’t be afraid to submit your piece. You may submit as many pieces as you like, but please confine them to a single email. Submit the artwork as a .jpg, attach a cover letter, and direct it to art@sub-lit.com.

Q : What publication rights do you assume?

Artists: we assume the right to archive your work on our website. We don’t mind if it exists in other online formats, but try not to send us stuff that’s plastered all over the internet.

Gain some exposure. Be part of something larger.

Copied from Heather Russel, Georgia State University:

Please do your best to attend tonight’s readings, reception, and book signing to celebrate the publication of novels by three Georgia State University student writers.

Man Martin’s Days of the Endless Corvette is “a humorous tall-tale about true love and car repair set in Deepstep, Georgia in the ’70s.” Derek Nikitas’s Pyres is “a hard look at the dark side of the modern American family, from trailer park to university campus, and the unlikely roads that connect the two.” Calaya Reid’s Take Her Man (written as Grace Octavia) is “a hilarious and emotional roller-coaster ride of breakups, new relationships and sisterhood.”

Check out the new look of new south.

Exciting changes are in development here. Following the release of our Spring / Summer 2007 issue, we will no longer publish as gsu review. After over thirty years as gsu review, we will publish as new south. Our role as Georgia State University’s journal of art and literature will not change. However, to correspond with our name change, Volume One, Issue One will include a new look and feel, as well as expanded content.

Spooky. Issue two of SUB-LIT will go live tonight, midnight. I have a story out in this issue; rest assured my fiction was accepted way before I applied for the position of art editor. The subversion, the midnight hour, it’s all appropriate for All Hallows’ Eve.

I’ve taken on the position of Art Editor at SUB-LIT. So, if you are an artist or photographer, and believe your work is at all subversive or dissident, please submit to the magazine! I will post more details later, but for now refer to www.SUB-LIT.com for information about submissions. I’m also especially interested in tattoo photography. Our second issue comes out November 1st, and we’re now accepting submissions for issue three.

Five Points is now accepting submissions. Our new issue, Volume 11, Number 3, is coming out in late September:

kim addonizio, coleman barks, erinn batykefer, sidney burris, viet dinh, karen finley, edward hirsch, alice hoffman, mark irwin, philip levine, debora lidov, laurence lieberman, pearl amelia mchaney, mary oliver, anne panning, rumi, matthew roudané, elizabeth spires, erik fraser storlie, melanie rae thon, robert wrigley, natasha trethewey, masao yamamoto

I’ve heard all the jokes. My partner is in Playboy. Hey, saw you in Playboy. These are misleading quips, but fantastic too. The October issue of Playboy lists the winners of the 2007 Playboy College Fiction Contest. You can read the first place story, “Lizard Man” by David James Poissant, online or in the hardcopy of the October issue. At the end of the story you’ll see my name listed as a third place winner–woo! I’m still waiting to get my issue in the mail. And to all of you writers out there, there’s a link at the end of the story to guidelines for the 2008 contest.

Sub-Lit Volume One, Number One is out–publishing the best in literary dissidence. I especially enjoyed the poetry in this issue. Submissions are open for the second issue, too: fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and photography. Also, check out the editor’s blog.

Check out the new website (still under renovation) for the gsu review. The winners have been chosen for the 2007 contest:

Congratulations to CLIFFORD GARSTANG, C.E. PERRY, DAVID HICKS & VERONICA PATTERSON – winners of our 2007 gsu review Contest in Fiction and Poetry.

We’d like to thank everyone who submitted to our 2007 contest. We received a record number of submissions this year, and an abundance of wonderful poetry and fiction. Choosing finalists from such a first-class collection of work was not easy.

First-place winners will receive $1000.  Second-place winners will receive $250.  All winners and finalists will have their work published in our Spring / Summer 2007 issue.

Special thanks to our judges, Keith Lee Morris and Jake Adam York.

Check out the new submission guidelines, too. Genres include fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, interviews, book reviews, and visual art.
