PANK-alerts

I’ll do the footwork, if you’ll continue regularly checking out our blog.

As I was waiting for the steam to drift from my freshly poured coffee, I found the following online that you just might want to check out for yourself.

1) The Top 5 New Literary Magazines were named yesterday. After you check them out, I think you should follow my lead and add the name of the journal you think should have been considered for the list (ahem, PANK) :   http://freeself-publishing.com/2009/02/17/top-five-new-literary-magazines-to-read-discovering-fresh-voices-writing-talent/

2) Want to see your name in print? Got some stuff worth sending out, or rather, that you’ve agnsted over for so long you have to get it out of your life? Check out “Suite 101’s” post on where to send your work. And good luck! : http://resourcesforwriters.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_season_of_writing_contests

3) Now for a little “fun” in the world of NONFICTION (the world, try as I might, to abandon but can’t). This is a post from MTV’s blog about how nonfiction books that liter the “buy one, get one half off” table at Borders or Barnes and Noble are now to take over the silver screen. Is this a yikes or a yippee? (I’m thinkin’ yikes) : http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/02/13/jonah-hill-jason-schwartzman-pick-up-the-adventurers-handbook/

4) Last, but definitely not least is a tribute to ZINES! I too think we should honor this awesome form of art, self-expression, creativity, and punk-rock-like rebellion: http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/feb/13/lz1mc13zine22467-display-chronicles-self-publishin/?zIndex=51814
