#149.Crass Pitch for Submissions

If you're a writer, send some of your shitty work to the fine editors, Your Monk included, at Dead Letter Quarterly. I told you it was going to happen. You didn't believe me, Theoretical Reader. It happened! I'm now onboard a literary journal!

#148. No More Pen Name, Dead Letter Quarterly, Poetry

I guess I've decided to finally do away with the "pen name" (Sean McKenna) here, partly because I've actually published a book and didn't use it....

I almost turned this blog into a social advocacy forum recently, but then I remembered I'm not a Charles Buckley character, so I decided against it....

I'm starting a literary magazine with a few pals from Paperback Reader, and am crossing my fingers for the name "Dead Letter Quarterly" to convince them. I'll let you know when I do....

Did I mention I have a book? Fools! You've been able to read the story at my NaNo blogs for years! Bwahaha!....

Every time I think about poetry, I wonder why my life hasn't become completed engrossed in it. A friend whose last day at Borders is tomorrow (Borders is where I work, but you may have known that from my PBR column, The Quarter Bin) recently told me he has a poetry blog. A former college mate has a blog of his favorite poems. Sometimes I write some here, too. Mostly, I go the recluse way, because I've somehow mabaged to convince some really good poeyry buddies from another college that I'm not worth tracking....

(I remembered yesterday I actually have two collections ready to be published, if I can convince someone to. I swear no one would regret it.)
