But you can also find decent calls in Poets & Writers mag, in Writer's Chronicle (a montly mag available from the AWP site), and sometimes on the various websites, blogs that writers frequent. Good luck. |
| Village Gal | Posted – 4/25/2008 11:23:33 AM | show profile Are you looking in Poets & Writers? Jerzy is right. I am editing an anthology right now and invited about 15 writers I know to contribute. I'm also buying a few reprints, and I placed an ad in Poets & Writers and other places but I gotta say that I got only a few pieces from these ads that I can use. Much of the stuff read like first drafts that had never been workshopped. This is why editors conact people they know. |
