by Erika Dreifus on

Monday brings the weekly batch of no-fee competitions/contests, paying submission calls, and jobs for those of us who write (especially those of us who write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction).

  • “Story|Houston, a new journal featuring narratives by emerging writers and illustrations by emerging artists,” is considering submissions for its summer issue. Considers fiction and nonfiction. Pays: $200. (via Ashland MFA News)
  • From Wordrunner eChapbooks: “Poetry, fiction and memoir by several authors will be considered for the fall 2013 e-chapbook anthology, to be published around September 25.” The theme of this e-chapbook is “jobs”: Work (or the lack of it) should be intrinsic to the narrative or poem. We are not interested in detailed job descriptions, but in how jobs impact lives and relationships.” Deadline: August 31, 2013. Pays: $10-$25 for accepted work.
  • The latest issue of The Practicing Writer (packed, as usual, with no-fee contests and paying calls) went out to subscribers this weekend. You can also find it here.
  • “The Department of English at the University of San Diego invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Creative Writing, Poetry Emphasis.”
  • Oklahoma State University is advertising for an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing. “Tenure-track position in Creative Writing-Fiction. 2-2 teaching load beginning August 2014. Appropriate terminal degree, appropriate credentials, significant national publication, and demonstrated teaching excellence required. Additional publication and teaching expertise in creative non-fiction desirable.”

    Treasure ChestWriting-related resources, news, and reflections to read over the weekend.

  • “Little has been written about Langston Hughes the anthologizer, his role as a shaper of African American culture as well as a maker of it.” Elizabeth Alexander’s research helps remedy that gap.
  • Tips for the cover letters that accompany your litmag submissions, courtesy of Ecotone‘s fiction editor.
  • John Fox “interprets” the meaning of litmag submission guidelines and policies (particularly those that pertain to fees).
  • Passing along this message recently received from Rosalie Morales Kearns: “Just wanted to let you know about the recently launched Lake House Collective, a group of feminist writers focusing on reviewing books by women authors–our small part in the larger project of literary good citizenship. The site is at http://lakehousecollective.wordpress.com/.” (Let’s hear it for #litcitizens!)
