JA TYLER

Congrats to JA TYLER on achieving 100 publications in 2008. Not only is his work great enough to merit 100 acceptances, I am amazed by the fact that he has written 100 seperate pieces in a year (10 months, this is October. Will he reach 125 acceptances by the end of 08). That type of discipline / dedication to writing is inspiring. It is an honor to have published his fiction here at DOGZPLOT. Again congrats.

DREW KALBACH - NEW POEMS

Check out the latest issue of THE NIMBLE FEW, which includes poems from DREW KALBACH.

BEGINNING OBSESSION
BEFORE THEY DECIDED
LOOK TWICE THEN LISTEN
HOW TO REMOVE A PAIR OF PANTS WITHOUT CAUSING JEALOUSY

If you like what you read, please order a copy of Drew's chapbook, THE ZEN OF CHAINSAWS AND ENORMOUS CLIPPERS. I know you got 4 dollars. Help the kid out.

Here's what MATT BELL said about it:

"Drew Kalbach's poems are full of the best kind of danger, subverting our expectations of everyday situations until something else happens, some other unexpected, transformative experience. From their incantatory beginnings to their incongruous endings, these poems are capable of a deep magic where each line is a connection between unlikely dots, each poem revealing truths as terrible as they are beautiful, as revelatory as they are necessary."

Here's what Ernest Hemingway said about it:

KELLY SPITZER INTERVIEWS JACOB APPEL

Read this EXCERPT, then read the ENTIRE INTERVIEW HERE.

KELLY:

You’ve amassed quite a list of publication credits, in very reputable journals, I might add. How long have you been writing? Do you have any tips, or secrets, on how to get published?

JACOB:

... I am increasingly confident that the secret to publication is relentlessness. Keep writing, keep sending out your work, respond to rejection by sending out even more work. If a journal sends you a note stating that your style just isn’t what they’re looking for, which has happened to me on multiple occasions, wait until that editor retires and try again. I have acquired more than 11,000 rejection letters and I’ve published fewer than one hundred stories. From a statistical point of view, I have failed abysmally. But I think few writers “fail” because they don’t have raw talent or potential; most aspiring writers don’t publish because they give up too soon.

I love you Jacob.

EMERGING WRITERS NETWORK - PUBLISHERS PANEL

(lifted from MATT BELL)

Dan Wickett at the Emerging Writers Network has just posted an e-panel with the editors of seven new indie publishers, including:

Kathleen M. Rooney and Abigail Beckel – Rose Metal Press

Aaron Burch and Elizabeth Ellen – Short Flight/Long Drive Books, a division of Hobart

Johannah Rodgers and Eugene Lim – Ellipsis Press

Aaron Petrovich and Alex Rose – Hotel St. George Press

Giancarlo Di Trapano – Tyrant Books

Victoria Blake – Underland Press

Peter Cole – Keyhole Books

(no longer from Matt)

I read through this a few times and there's some really good discussion going on. It gives me confidence that I really do know what I'm doing, and even when I don't, there are better, more succesful publishers who don't know what they are doing either.
