Things Exist in the World!
Peter Slapnicher
Listen up: Some of my publications snuck past me, and I don't want to be accused of not promoting these terrific projects. So here we go: The Fiction At Work peeps made an anthology over at Green Lantern Press, and it's sharp looking: The Fiction At Work Biannual Report. There are a ton of awesome people in here, but among them: Spencer Dew, Devin Bustin, Mary Hamilton, Lindsay Hunter, Ira S. Murfin and the wonder that is Hannis Pannis. It's an affordable $10, and will fit securely in the backpocket of even your skinniest jeans.
Also: issue 5 of Letterbox! I was super-excited to be introduced to the work of some writers I was previously unfamiliar with Kristin Abraham, Nathan Austin, Avery Burns, Vernon Frazer, José Luis Gutiérrez, David Highsmith, Christine Kanownik, Debrah Morkun, Kristin Palm, Elizabeth Robinson, Spencer Selby and Valerie Witte. That same affordable ten spot will get you this square handful of words and pretty.
Finally, it's been months since A La Carte came out, but no one told me. Whoops! You can get it at the Main Street Rag website. I haven't seen a copy yet, but the contributor list is enough to believe in it: David Erlewine, Molly Gaudry, Jason Jordan and Ben Tanzer, among others. It's $14.95 + shipping. I look forward to reading it, even if I'm a bit grumpy about it.
