Okay, I hope everyone is excited for our first ever Writing Workshop (10:00 am on the 4th floor of the Library (the Writing Commons) on Saturday, September 19th). Bring food if you can. Bring writing (a short story, a chapter, 5-6 poems), and try to bring copies (around 10 should work). I’ll work on doing this through the department in the future. If you need me to print them send them to me by no later than Friday night; everyone should have my email.
Here are the links that I said I would put up:
Weird Tales – a magazine, which is sponsoring a very specific kind of short story: One minute Weird Tales. Look under latest videos on their home page.
Nanoed – A Twitter-zine (fiction up to 140 characters)
This one is their submissions page:
Thaumatrope – Another Twitter-zine (see above)

Flash Fiction Online – Short stories of any genre in under 1,000 words
http://www.flashfictiononline.com
Brain Harvest – Weird Science Fiction and Fantasy in under 750 words.

For the next meeting, Tuesday September 22nd at 6:00 in Satterfield 204, bring a Twitter fiction (a short story in under 140 characters). Examples can be found at two of the links above. Takes some time to look around these sites. All except Weird Tales are fairly new venues, they all have their submission guidelines and all of them have very short fiction, so it won’t take too much time.
I am also going to include a link to the writing podcast I listen to. It’s done by three successful authors and while they write genre fiction, I think it could be very useful to everyone. Here is Writing Excuses:
