CHECKING IN

So many things going on I don't have the time or energy to mention, besides anything I have to say I'm sure everyone has heard by now. New issues of ELIMAE, ROBOT MELON, THE LEGENDARY, KILL AUTHOR, and PRICK OF THE SPINDLE.

STORYGLOSSIA is doing a music theme, check out the guidelines for specifics.

DOLLAR STORE SHOW READING TOUR sounds pretty bad ass. The folks from Chicago are taking it on the road. Lots of cool folks reading in lots of cool places, Philly is one of them. I will be there July 13th.

DOGZPLOT will be at the SMALL PRESS BOOK FAIR in PITTSBURGH, July 18-19. If you are in the area stop by. We will also be in RICHMOND, VIRGINIA for their small press fair, but I don't have the dates. And we're trying to hook something up in SAN FRAN, so if you're in the area and want to be part of something, we don't know what yet, contact LAUREN BECKER, our Fiction Editor extraordinaire and Ambassador of West Coast Affairs lbecker@dogzplot.com.

Also, KADZI MUTIZWA wrote an excellent review of THE NATIONAL VIRGINITY PLEDGE here:

STEPHANIE JOHNSON's new book is out through KEYHOLE.

DZANC started a journal, THE COLLAGIST.

Everybody knows all this, right?

If anyone has anything pending or outstanding with me I will be settled and back to running 100 percent very soon. My shit is scattered across three states in boxes and storage and basements and I'm doing the best I can. Chapbooks and collections coming soon from PAPER HERO and ACHILLES by: SUZANNE BURNS, LYDIA COPELAND, LINDSAY LOHAN, ELIZABETH ELLEN, ANDREA KNEELAND, BRANDI WELLS, BEN TANZER, COREY MESLER, PETER SCHWARTZ, RAVI MANGLA, BARACK OBAMA, NICOLLE ELIZABETH, and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head, so I apologize if it's you.

(I'm lying about one of those names)

Also, read BEASTS OF NO NATION, by UZODINMA IWEALA and NIGHTS OF THE CREAKING BED, by TONI KAN. These shits are cold blooded.
