Just read an e-mail from Bret Lott, editor of the Baton Rouge-based Southern Review, about another hurricane relief program–one with specific relevance to practicing writers. To put it bluntly, you can help people in need and get a free copy of the journal at the same time (his e-mail is much more eloquent than my explanation). You can find his message over at The Emerging Writers’ Network blog.

And The Southeast Review, based in Tallahassee, has announced a similar program. Read about it at the journal’s website.

I’m a big fan of Dan Wickett and his work with the Emerging Writers’ Network. This week Dan posted the latest in a series of e-interviews with panels of literary journal editors. This time the group includes Marie Hayes (STORYQUARTERLY), Jackie Corley (WORD RIOT), Michelle Richmond (FICTION ATTIC), David McGlynn (WESTERN HUMANITIES REVIEW), Elizabeth Onuska (GUERNICA), Derek Kagemann (HALCYON), and Mitch Wieland (IDAHO REVIEW). Read what they all have to say right here.
