Ann Hite announces new ezine~

Internet Writing Workshop member Ann Hite is starting a new online magazine called The Painted Door.

The Painted Door is an online magazine dedicated to the art of short story writing, and is accepting submissions now. Please place stories of any length--but I prefer under 5,000 words--in the email body, along with a short bio, four or five lines and send to thepainteddoor@bellsouth.net. Deadline for first issue submissions is September 20th.

The Painted Door is dedicated solely to the art of short stories of any length, but under 5000 words would be best," Ann said. Being a writer, Ann is sensitive to the difficulties writers face in getting work published. "I'm beginning this endeavor to give writers a showcase for their best work," she said.

She plans to publish The Painted Door monthly, and print both new and previously published pieces. The first issue is planned for October 15th. She welcomes submissions.

In addition to this project Ann is also busy with a series of novels and stories set in the fictional community of Black Mountain. She brings the Black Mountain characters to life by including mountain lore, ghost stories, voodoo, and superstition.

Ann is a contributor to Marlo Thomas' The Right Words at the Right Time, Vol.2, Your Turn. Find out more about Ann at The Painted Door: The Painted Door
