First: Karl Marlantes’s Matterhorn
by Eryn Loeb
May/June 2010
Today, Karl Marlantes's debut novel is garnering praise for its vivid, trenchant portrayal of American soldiers in the thick of the Vietnam War. But for more than thirty years, the manuscript languished in literary purgatory, while the author struggled to find an agent—not to mention a publisher—willing to take it on.

An Interview With Poet Kathryn Starbuck
by Henry Stimpson
Kathryn Starbuck has been around poets and poetry all her life, but she never wrote a single poem herself until about seven years ago, when she was grieving over the recent deaths of her parents, brother, and especially her beloved husband, the poet George Starbuck, who died in 1996 at the age of sixty-five, after a twenty-two-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

From the Databases
Mat Black Online Magazine
The pieces that give us chills, the pieces that make us step back and
think about our surroundings, those are the ones we are looking for.
Make us laugh, make us cry, make us fear death. Hell, make us want to
die. Love, hate, hope, irony, depression—life has many feelings and
emotions. What makes you feel these things? We want to read something
that proves to us that the human brain is still worth something. Or
maybe it is worth nothing.
Midway Journal
Midway Journal accepts submissions of aesthetically ambitious work that occupies the realms between both the traditional and experimental.
Plan B Press
Plan B Press encourages, captures, presents and preserves contemporary poetry by publishing and presenting emerging poets. A small independent publishing company that primarily produces high-quality, limited-run poetry chapbooks. We have also created two short fiction collections and four full-length books.
Union Station Magazine
Designed off the image of a train station with many tracks extending outward, Union Station has a distinct urban aesthetic. We seek to be inclusive, to put into relation the many narratives, images, and voices that are redefining our landscape.
Women in REDzine
We look for writing that is surprisingly exceptional, not necessarily the in your face brilliance, but the kind of writing that surprises you with story and a clear focus and voice. We love new writers, adore established writers, and embrace the I've-Never-Done-This-Before writers. If you have a story, a poem, an essay, or something that you haven't quite classified yet, but you think it could stand up to being read, then please submit it. Our staff loves to read!
