Hi everyone! I'm a newbie but figured this would be an excellent place to meet other writers and hopefully make some connections.
I'm on a mission... for myself, for other women, for the literary world. I started an independent publishing company called Broken Publications in 2010, which can be found at www.brokenpublications.com.
The idea behind a new project I'm working on is to publish an annual anthology/collection/literary magazine that I've dubbed Soul Vomit after what I've always called my ranting and raving in my journals. =)
I need submissions. Though the book won't be published until December 2012, I'd like to receive a number of submissions for it.
The theme for this one is domestic violence. As a domestic violence survivor, I feel it's important to expose the nature of this beast and collectively communicate how painful and destructive such a relationship can be, as well as inspiring courage to leave an abuser or report abuse to the police, whether you're a victim or a witness.
For more information on the publication, its development, and other related projects, please visit www.soulvomit.com.
This will be an in print publication.
If anyone has any domestic abuse-related works to submit, the submission manager can be found on the Soul Vomit web site.
I hope to hear from many of you, and that you're all having a great week!
Jen

I'm starting to review books on my Soul Vomit site and haven't gotten my first one yet. I do fiction and poetry mostly =).
Thanks for your input & for getting the word out! I hope you're having a great week!

I don't know anyone personally that needs a book reviewed but I'll keep an eye out. Be sure to ask the group, I know some are considering putting out chapbooks if that is any help.
