My friend Lori Ann Bloomfield, of The Last River Child fame and author of that Elvis story I liked to a while back, is opening up the floodgates to reader questions over at her First Line blog. Got a burning question about writing, reading, or publishing? Go visit her blog and drop her a lineContinue reading “Ask an author: Lori Ann Bloomfield”

11-11: Literary magazine review (Annalemma)
Part of my 11-11 reading list includes literary journals and magazines, and because I want to support them as much as I can (I rely on them for publications, after all!), I’ve decided to try to read at least one full issue of a different magazine each month. But it’s fairly difficult to do thatContinue reading “11-11: Literary magazine review (Annalemma)”
New publication(s)
Some publications news: I have two new stories in the March issue of Red Fez, “Still Alive” and “Dream with Enough Conviction.” You might recognize “Dream with Enough Conviction”: an earlier draft of it appeared here about ten months ago, as a Writer’s Notebook entry on music and fiction. And you might recognize Red Fez,Continue reading “New publication(s)”
New fiction from Lori Ann Bloomfield
Lori Ann Bloomfield, of First Line blog fame and author of The Last River Child, has a new short story available online. Check out “Thank You Elvis” (that’s right — Elvis!) in the current issue of Lies with Occasional Truths magazine.
The Current History of the Future of Publishing: Margaret Atwood speaks at the Tools of Change conference
This is a phenomenal presentation — from Margaret Atwood! — on the changes taking place in the publishing industry… and why we shouldn’t freak out about it. My favorite bit is her definition of “publishing,” because the rest of this presentation stems from that one seminal idea, and it’s awesome. The video of her presentationContinue reading “The Current History of the Future of Publishing: Margaret Atwood speaks at the Tools of Change conference”
New fiction from Ryan Werner
Rock star and writer and guy-I-refer-to-a-lot-because-we-swap-ideas-on-writing-all-the-time Ryan Werner has a new story up at Jersey Devil Press. In the same vein as Ryan’s music-based flash fiction over at Our Band Could Be Your Lit, this story, “Carbon,” is based on a rock song, this time Bruce Springsteen‘s “Adam Raised a Cain.” It’s really cool. GoContinue reading “New fiction from Ryan Werner”
This librarian is totally hot
The good news abounds in the Snoek-Brown household this week: after my story announcement yesterday, today my wife, who is a (brilliant!) librarian, found out she’s online as well! A while ago, a freelance writer named Meredith Southard contacted my wife and asked to interview her for a short article on the librarian profession (because,Continue reading “This librarian is totally hot”
New publication
Good news! It’s taken a while to get it online, but the new issue (Vol. VI) of Ampersand Review‘s online edition is out now, and it contains my story “Horror Vacui.” Check it out. Actually, check out all of Ampersand — the review and the press — because they’re some of the coolest literary-minded peopleContinue reading “New publication”
A Writer’s Notebook: Spoken word video
A video is a strange thing to include in a Writer’s Notebook, at least in the sense that I couldn’t have written this in my little brown notebook with the unlined paper. But the purpose of the online Notebook is simply to create, and I’ll use whatever medium works. So bear with me, and I’llContinue reading “A Writer’s Notebook: Spoken word video”
New poetry from Corey Marks
A former professor of mine, poet Corey Marks, has just won the 2011 Green Rose Prize from New Issues Press. The award honors a new collection by a poet with at least one other book in print (Corey’s previous collection, Renunciation, remains on my shortlist of favorite poetry collections–it’s breathtaking work), and the winning manuscriptContinue reading “New poetry from Corey Marks”
