Here's a new literary magazine for outdoor adventure essays:  www.adventum.com.  This issue is available to read online.  I have an essay on page 52.  I believe the next reading period will be in the fall.

Hi,

I'm new to this group. Somehow I haven't thought of myself as an essayist despite contributing essays to several anthologies. I put one on the blog, Dames of Dialogue early this month if you'd like to check it out. Also, along with several other Southern Writers group members I contributed to the anthology, Oil and Water and Other Things That Don't Mix, a charitable collection that benefits two worthy organizations helping people and animals who were victims of the HBP oil spill. My only published book so far is Real Country: From the Fast Track to Appalachia, winner of the 2009 Humor Book of the Year from the NC High Country Writers. My website is http://lissajbrown.tripod.com . Confused? My real name is Lissa Brown. I originally joined SheWrites under my pen name and it's too confusing to switch. Sorry about that.

Please come visit the blog to read my interview with writer Myrna Kostash about her book Prodigal Daughter: A Journey to Byzantium. We talk about her pursuit of Saint Demetrius, her return to the Eastern Orthodox Church, feminism, nonfiction, and what it means to write on the margins.<http://julijasukys.com>.  

If you have a new book of creative nonfiction you'd like to chat about, please feel free to send me a note through the blog or here on SheWrites.

"I'm an edit-as-I goer, but the problem with that is it's like dragging a weight behind you when you're trying to run a marathon. I'm trying harder to just get the story down then go back and edit, add, and cut."
