my (small press) writing day : new essays + ongoing submission call,

So, I had been curious for some time about The Guardian’s occasional feature “My Writing Day,” and thought it would be interesting to do a blog of the same, “for those of us who might never make it into The Guardian.”

[note: this isn’t a dig at The Guardian; I just thought it might be fun to play with the format]

So, over a year ago, I started a new blog: my (small press) writing day.

The list of published and forthcoming essays include an enormous amount of short essays on writing and possibility, including pieces by Amish Trivedi, Colin Morton, rob mclennan, Sonia Saikaley, Amanda Earl, Jean Van Loon, Karl E. Jirgens, Lisa Pasold, Robert Martin Evans, Jennifer Pederson, Carla Hartsfield, Jason Christie, Eleni Zisimatos, Christian McPherson, Chris Johnson, Eileen R.
