We’re gonna to use spooky words like conjugation and modality and, at the end I’m gonna make you diagram a sentence. Just kidding! I know we’d all rather claw our own [...]

(Many of us don’t expect great things from big box publishers, but that’s an altogether different rant.) But just because we may not expect great things does not mean there’s not a ton of very talented people working [...]

January 21st, 2011 Lorna D. Keach 
“We’re open to submissions from January 15-February 28, 2011. The Red Penny Papers publishes webfiction that celebrates the spirit of the penny dreadful, the sensationalist and gothic novel, and their more modern successor, the pulp magazine– the catch is that it must have a dark speculative bent.

(Or, Why don’t we just put the Writer’s Market down for a bit and relax?) I collect old college Literature textbooks. It’s a wretched habit, because it means there’s now 70 copies of Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” in my house—but, then again, none of my habits are particularly healthy. Still, this week, I stumbled [...]
