Call for Submissions

InDigest, a literary magazine that seeks to create a dialogue about and between the arts, is interested in submissions focused on Hurricane Katrina. Why Katrina? Why now? We at InDigest were extremely troubled by the politicizing of events surrounding Hurricane Gustav—the photo ops, the self-serving talk of doing good for others, et al.—while people affected by Katrina are still living in FEMA trailers three years after that hurricane hit. We feel that, unlike our other national tragedy—9/11—Katrina has been dismissed, forgotten. We have our own opinions about why, but we seek artists’ and writers’ response to this national scar. It is our small way of trying to not be a part of the ignoring.

Please refer to indigestmag.com/submit.htm for guidelines to submit poetry, fiction, nonfiction, art, and music.

Minneapolis News

Our friends at MNArtists and Whistling Shade have some big news.

Whistling Shade (a great, free, literary magazine in Minneapolis) has started a publishing imprint and they are about to release their newest book Tales from the Tinker's Dam, a collection of odd short stories from Daniel Gabriel. You can find out more about the book at their website. Or, you could go to the reading, which is being held on Thursday July 17, at Kieran's Irish Pub in downtown Minneapolis. This is sure to be a very interesting book, so check out the page, check out the reading, and pick up a copy of Whistling Shade's literary magazine.


MNArtists is still in the midst of their MiniStories contest as well. They are still accepting flash fiction submissions for the contest. MNartists is a very bad ass place for artists in Minnesota to connect and get seen. If you aren't a part of this (or if you live in another state) check this out, it's great. The deadline for submissions is July 13 (which is tomorrow), so get on it, submit something you've got lurking in a file and haven't found a home for, or spend tomorrow trying to put together a bomb collection of 300 words or so. Do it. If you want more info go here.

As always, we are accepting submissions as well.
