Jenny Magazine taking all submissions

Hey all. I thought this would be a great place to post this announcement, especially since fans of Chuck's work who are writers themselves are likely to share a certain sensibility.

My name is Dave Drogowski, and I'm the web administrator for an online literary magazine named Jenny. We're based in Youngstown, Ohio, US, and publish one issue per semester. We're taking submissions of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction.

We currently don't have funds to pay those selected, but submitting is free and it's a nice way to be published and recognized for your writing, especially if you're just starting.

I post this at the mods' discretion. I don't think this qualifies as solicitation, but of course you'll be the judge(s) of that.

We can be found at www.jennymag.org, and we look forward to your submissions.

-Dave Drogowski, web admin, jennymag.org

New Episode of The Velvet Podcast: EPISODE 018: DOES BEING A WRITER MAKE READING UNBEARABLE?


From the about:
EPISODE 018: DOES BEING A WRITER MAKE READING UNBEARABLE?

Caleb J. Ross and Pablo D’Stair discuss a recent tweet sent from @calebjross that speaks to the problem of authors and their reading habits, particularly about how being a writer tends to lessen the enjoyment of reading. Of course, part of the enjoyment that writers get from reading comes from the dissective act of reading, but what about when we just want to enjoy a damn story? Is it possible for a writer to be a passive reader?

Please Do Not Shoot Me in the Face: A Novel

Hey, guys. My new books is out. If you liked the novel-esque aspects of Haunted (and my writing), then you will love this book.

A tour-de-force. A harrowing comic masterpiece. A timely novel that transcends the times. An instant American classic. This is what critics are not saying about Bradley Sands' latest magnum opus, Please Do Not Shoot Me in the Face: A Novel.

A novel in three parts, Please Do Not Shoot Me in the Face: A Novel is the story of one boy detective, the worst ninja in the world, and the great American fast food wars. It is a novel of loss, destruction, and—incredibly—genuine hope.

Please Do Not Shoot Me in the Face: A Novel contains three classic Bradley Sands novellas: "Frankie Nougat and the Case of the Missing Heart," "Cheesequake Smash-Up," and "Apocalypse Ninja."
