My vignette "Grave Mother" is up for reading in issue 9 of Vine Leaves Literary Journal.

They've got some neat voices in there, and a mentoring program that might be worth checking out, if you're looking for places for microflash or poetry.

I got my strutting boots on today. I got interviewed for Luna Luna magazine, and I just found out today that my essay that was in Literary Orphans is going in their best of antho. Not as exciting I had to turn down reading at an event at AWP because I'm already booked. I'm already extremely nervous this will be only my second reading.

My very first post on LitReactor, of course it's gonna be in the Whoring thread, and I guess having some nonfiction about actual whoring seems appropriate.

My essay "Fat Eddie" just got published by The Weeklings.

I also have a poem in print-print, like actual paper, in the new issue of Fourteen Hills.

Way to go Conley and Eddie. 

Right on Ray! 

In other news. This week Revolt Daily celebrates it's 2nd year after starting as SYW Magazine. We've got a new story up by Martin Garrity. Some of you might remember it from WAR II. It's a good one. Go check it out.

I don't know if this counts as whoring but I've put together an ongoing list of women writers and forgot to put my call out here. If you identify as a woman and would like to be on the list drop me a note with your name and a link you'd like people to go to.

The list came about after a lot of people I know seemed to not know of any women writers outside of a few and seemed puzzled as to how to find them.

I am quite the whore this week, although since none of these are paying gigs I'm guess I'm really just a slut. And I am not ashamed.

My essay "Icefalls" was published yesterday by The Rumpus:

And also yesterday I had four poems published in Collapsar 3.

Two of my short fiction samplers (ENTROPY IN BLOOM and HUNGRY FUCKING ANIMALS) are free on Amazon for a few days. The first is literary fiction and the second is crime. Both cost you less than a stick of gum or a high five and the covers look cool on Kindle.

I totally forgot to stop by here last week! My first book, Echoes, is now available on Amazon and B&N. So far, I've got three good reviews (and hopefully several more on the way)! Overall, I don't think I'm doing too bad, considering this is the first time I've ever dared put a pricetag on my writing.

And congrats to everybody else on this thread! Looks like everyone's doing great. :)

The first chapter or two went up in the workshops here and were liked so fingers crossed I get some decent reviews!!

Cheers,

Thanks, Jonathan--I'm glad you remember the story from TU. Your comments were really helpful and encouraging, The event as a whole was a very fun introduction to the site. Also, RD is great.

Shannon--very cool idea for your site. Helping people find new writers is awesome...and as a woman, I'm particularly pleased about your focus. 

I'll keep checking the thread for more victory stories. It really gives me a boost--and things to read.
