Gray skies again in Riverside.  We’ve had a lot of rain, enough to make your cowboy hat-wearing protagonist get comically splashed by passing cars, and enough to make him thankful he brought his leather hat. (I’m like those old Batman action figures.  I come in Original, Rainproof, Snowproof, and “Jesus fuck, it’s 106 degrees and he’s still wearing jeans”.)

Helluva night last Friday, but that’s not what I’m here for.  I wanted to make you aware that I am now part of the editorial staff for CRATE Magazine, and we’ve got a call for submissions:

Dear Writers,

The time

has come for another annual edition of CRATE, the literary magazine

of the University of California, Riverside’s Creative Writing MFA programs.
With this in mind, we would like to take the opportunity to reach out to the
writing community, published or unpublished, aspiring or veteran, and
request submissions for the upcoming issue. We are seeking works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and artwork.

The deadline for submissions is February 15th, right after Valentine’s
Day. Though the current issue is not based around a theme or a
subject, we are hoping to put forward works that are not only
evocative and innovative, but ambitious. Mixed media is welcome, as
are experimental forms, as long as the choices of style and method
serve the piece. Novel excerpts must be self-contained.

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please withdraw if accepted elsewhere. Please do not send multiple submissions in a single genre.

Please include a short bio and an email address for contact purposes and send up to 7500 words of fiction or creative nonfiction, up to five poems (in a single attachment, one per page), and/or up to five images (as .jpegs) to:

CRATELiteraryMagazine@gmail.com


So, send something in.  I’m on the poetry side.  Similarly, The Splinter Generation is asking for submissions.  So, send something in.
