National Book Festival/Tin House






Thought for the week: Serendipity is God's way of remaining anonymous. ~ unknown

NATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL
If you’ve never attended the Library of Congress National Book Festival, you can do so vicariously here. The site has videos of author presentations from the 2011 festival as well as audio podcasts from 2007 through 2012.

TIN HOUSE is now reading fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for their Spring and Summer 2013 issues. The Summer issue is open (non-themed.) The Spring issue’s theme is This Means War. “Conflict is at the heart of all stories, and these days it seems that the world's major conflicts are portrayed in black and white, good and evil. We're looking for the grey, the messy, the not-so-easily classified. We're not just looking for work about armed conflict, but domestic, political, ecological, religious, and moral battles. If there is heat, we want to see the fire. The Spring, 2013 deadline is October 31. The Summer, 2013 deadline is January 14.”
