I’m now the interim nonfiction editor for the Blue Lyra Review, a new online magazine. We’re looking for a wide range of nonfiction (personal essays, memoir and creative nonfiction) and are especially interested in nature- or Jewish-oriented pieces. Check us out at: http://bluelyrareview.com

There’s a new kid in eco-publishing town: Arid – A Journal of Desert Art, Design and Ecology. Sounds fairly academic but they are also looking for shorter, “informal” essays. Don’t know if it’s a good fit for folks in this group, but here’s the link: http://socialmedia.hpc.unm.edu/arid/?page_id=14

 

Remember, I’m just the messenger…so, please no questions back to me.

Such fun to be profiled in yesterday's Denve Post for my nature writing retreats!  http://www.denverpost.com/recommended/ci_20158320.

This call for submissions (see below) came in off ASLE and also H-NILAS. I checked it back to the publisher, and it's not clear to me if they're asking for full subs or queries.

I don't have any crow stories on hand and am busy with too many other projects, so that's all the legwork I've done on this.  

Good luck with it.

Monica, the anthology photos have already been selected. Sorry if I wasn't clearer on that point. What the editors want are essays to complement the preselected photos.

According to the website, Open to Interpretation publishes several photo / essay anthologies annually, and has another one (with a different topic) in play. So, your photos won't work for Intimate Landscapes but could be chosen for another photo essay anthology.

Thank you for this recommendation, Adrienne. I'm going to look into it; I have hundreds of photos (I go nowhere without my camera!). This might be a good opportunity!

Comment by Adrienne Ross Scanlan on February 7, 2012 at 11:31am

Open to Interpretation is looking for essays paired to pre-selected photographs on the theme of "Intimate Landscapes."  I won't be pursuing this (I don't have anything already finished that matches their photos), but I thought this might be good for someone in this group. Details are at: http://www.open2interpretation.com/

Sugar Mule is reading for a special "women writing nature" issue.  Deadline is fast approaching at February 1.  Essays and poetry only, no fiction. Details are at:http://www.sugarmule.com/details.htm

Please don't query me for more information. I'm just the messenger.

Page- think we got it fixed and would love a link! Monica, looking forward to including your piece...and if you know other writers who have done a nice job writing about the Arctic please let me know (or let them know about The Ultima Thule!)

Comment by Page Lambert on January 16, 2012 at 8:35pm

Good plan, Shannon.  That way it will always be relevant, rather than seem as if its not current.  Let me know when you get those changes made, and I'll try to link to it in my newsletter or blog.
