Scribe Notes

by JM

Hello all and welcome to a new week. As usual on Mondays, I have a few reminders for you.

*This is the last week you can submit your posts to the September edition of the Scribes Blog Carnival. The deadline is this Thursday, so make sure to get your entries in for next Monday. Go here for the submissions page. Also remember that there is a limit of two entries per person. If you enter more than that, I’ll decide which two go in. (Or I’ll decide you can’t follow directions and just delete all your entries.)

If you want to read some of my poetry be sure to sign up at The Oddville Press to receive the very first issue which includes a poem from yours truly inside. I believe the deadline has passed to make it into the first issue, but you can still submit your work for future issues.

*You can find plenty of opportunities to win books at West of Mars. This blog is updated almost daily and almost always more than once in one day. So be sure to subscribe to it in your feed reader or just check back often.

*Call out for guest posts. I will be gone in the beginning of October and have no hope of being able to write enough to cover all my time away. If you would like your post (including your name and a link to your site) featured here on Fiction Scribe in October, leave a comment on this post or email me.

*Fat Chick Love call for submissions. Fat Chick Love is a new site and they are calling for stories. You can check out their site. Scroll to the very bottom of the page for their submissions information. They look like a new site and a non-paying one as well. As always, keep in mind that I am merely the messenger - I am not responsible for what happens should you choose to submit your stories to the places I mention here.

And that’s it for today. If you would like your contest, call for submissions, publication announcement, or other writing news mentioned here, let me know via comment, email, or contact me button on the right under the site description.

    Ooh, thanks for the link love, JM!

    And yes, I’m so busy posting contests that I’m THIS far behind in my reader! Eek!

    Always my pleasure. And I know how you feel with getting more and more behind with the reader… Oops.
