Interfictions II submission guidelines
http://www.interstitialarts.org/wordpress/?cat=2
from Delia Sherman & Christopher Barzak, editors:

What We’re Looking For

Interstitial Fiction is all about breaking rules,
ignoring boundaries, cross-pollinating the fields
of literature. It’s about working between,
across, through, and at the edges and borders of
literary genres, including fiction and
non-fiction. It falls between the cracks of other
movements, terms, and definitions. If you have a
story idea that’s impossible to describe in a
couple of sentences, it may be interstitial.

We’re looking for previously unpublished stories
that engage us and make us think about literature
in new ways. Rather than defining “interstitial”
for you, we’d like you to show us what
genre-bending fiction looks like. Surprise us;
make us see that literature holds possibilities
we haven't yet imagined.

We are also open to graphic stories of about 10
pages.

Who We Are Looking For

Writers in all genres of fiction (contemporary
realism, mystery, historical, fantasy, whatever)
who have an idea that challenges generic tropes
and expectations. If you're not sure whether a
story is interstitial, send it along anyway.

Practical Matters

Our submission period will be from October 1,
2008 to December 2, 2008. Please submit
electronically only. Send your stories to:
interfictions(at)interstitialarts.org (replace (at)with @).

You will hear from us after January, 2009.

Overseas submissions are welcome. Stories
previously published in other languages may be
submitted in English translation for first
English language publication.

Please follow standard manuscript formatting and
submission conventions: ie, double-spaced, with
1” margins, and the name of the story on each
page. No simultaneous or multiple submissions.
Word count is open, but the ideal range is
4,000-10,000 words. Payment will be 5 cents a
word for non-exclusive world anthology rights, on
publication, along with 2 author’s copies.

Any questions? Write us at interfictions(at)
interstitialarts.org (replace (at) with @).

The Writing Resource Center is beginning our yearly hiring process for new SWAs. Applications are available in the WRC and are due by 5 pm on Monday, April 28. I'm writing to ask that you inform your students of this opportunity. If there are any students you feel would be particularly good additions to the WRC staff, please personally encourage them to apply.

We have a unique challenge/opportunity in our hiring for next year, as five of our current SWAs are graduating in May and another will be leaving after next fall. That means that we need to hire at least five new SWAs. With so many openings, we want to do everything possible to have a high number of qualified applicants to choose from. This need also gives us a great opportunity to hire a group of SWAs with diverse backgrounds. With that in mind, we'd like to have quality applicants from each of the divisions. So, again, if you know anyone who seems like a particularly good candidate, please encourage them to apply. Thank you.
Natasha Trethewey will read and discuss her work April 17th 7:00 p.m. at Traditions
Hall on the University of South Florida Tampa campus. The 2007
Pulitzer Prize winner accepted the award for her third poetry collection, Native Guard, published in 2006. It contains her poems about black Union soldiers
who guarded a fort off the coast of Mississippi during the U. S.
Civil War.


Her first work, Domestic Work, was selected by Rita Dove to receive
the inaugural 1999 Cave
Canem poetry prize for the best first book by an African
American poet and also received the 2001 Lillian Smith Award for
Poetry and the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Book Prize.
Her second work, Bellocq’s Ophelia (2002) received the 2003
Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Book Prize. She is the
recipient of the prestigious Bunting fellowship from the Radcliffe
Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.


Born in Gulfport, Mississippi, Trethewey holds a B.A. in English from the University of Georgia, an M.A. in English and Creative Writing from Hollins
University, and an M.F. A. in poetry from the University of
Massachusetts. She is the Phillis Wheatley Distinguished Chair, and
professor of poetry at Emory University


This event is sponsored by the USF Humanities Institute, the departments of English
and Women’s Studies, and USF Women in Leadership and Philanthropy.
