IWW Members in Print and Published

Gary didn't know I had all those permissions in my pocket, and I was off in the boondocks where you get on the Internet by carrier pigeon, so I couldn't tell him. Now I'm back, and this is the revised edition--as usual, full of great successes for members of the IWW.


Karna Converse

I'm thrilled that my review of "The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness," by Simon Wiesenthal won second place in the Internet Review of Books "Lasting Impressions" contest. The IRB is a great place to learn about writing book reviews!


Sue Ellis

Looks like our group will be well represented in Penpricks in June. I received an email on Wednesday saying that I'll appear in June too. Yahoo!


Dawn Goldsmith

Christian Science Monitor has once again published one of my essays, "Sometimes the Questions Matter Most." It ran in the Home Forum Section on May 15, 2008.


Joe Hendrix

When I posted about my YAHOO this morning, I didn't list the publication. I will be published in the June 2008 edition of Pin Pricks Micro Fiction. Felt good to get my first story published. I realize there will be no monetary pay, but with hope my next published piece could bring me millions. I just need a dollar and six numbers. With the right numbers I'll be a millionaire overnight.


Lynne Hinkey

My creative nonfiction essay, "The Lost Art of Funerals" has been accepted for publication in The Battered Suitcase, a new online literary magazine. The first issue comes out on June 1. I'll be in the July issue.

Thanks to all of you who helped with crits!


Ann Hite

I was asked a while ago to write a review for a crime novel, Mas Raike, P.I., by Douglas H. Maloney. The publisher is Water Forest Press. Water Forest is a POD, but the founder really works with her authors to help them move their books. You don't see that with many of the other PODs. Her goal is to one day be an small publisher that doesn't charge her authors book costs. Anyway, I did write the review and it has been published in Hudson View. Hudson View is a journal that can be found in Rockefeller Library at Brown and New York Public Library. It is popular in South Africa and Europe. So my little book review will appear in these places. Not too bad.

Also, My post is up at A Good Blog Is Hard To Find. This is a blog owned by southern authors. I enjoyed writing the post. Also the eighth and ninth Black Mountain story is up at Dead Mule. Enjoy!


Kristen Howe

Today, I got a poem published in Poet's Podium, a Canadian newsletter, without an acceptance letter. Nonetheless, my sunset poem, "Sunlight Simmer" have been accepted. Unfortunately, it's not at the website. (Two of my other poems were rejected.) I got three copies, too. Hooray!


Carter Jefferson

I keep the other editors on the Internet Review of Books too busy to have time topost their yahoos, but I doubt that they'll rebel if I mention that Ruth Douillette and Gary Presley published reviews there on May 15. And so did I.


Ellen Lindquist

At long last, I received a copy of The Binnacle, in which I placed as an "honoree" or "finalist" --whichever term you prefer-- in the 2007 Ultra-Short Contest. (Fellow IWW member Wayne Scheer is also represented.) Upon receiving it from the University of Maine at Machias, all I could say was "Wow!" This is the most exquisite publication I've ever been in. They expertly printed the individual stories on cards (about the size of a Tarot Card deck) and packed them in the most beautiful box --it has a print of a Vermeer painting on it. A card inside the box
thanks Stephen and Tabitha King "whose great generosity has helped The Binnacle to move into a new stage of publishing." For those who like interesting collectibles, this is one to get (I assume back "issues" are also available). At only $5 per boxed set, I'm tempted to get the whole series dating back to 2004.


Julie McGuire

Another wonderful issue of The Internet Review of Books is available for your reading pleasure. You will see a lot of familiar names.

And I have a review available at IRB as well!

Please spread the word to all those book lovers you know. There are some great reviews - fodder for new ideas of books to read.


Eric Petersen

Hey, Folks -

Well, you can add me to the list of IWW members published by Pen Pricks. They're going to publish two of my 55-word stories in the June 2008 issue. One is called "Love Lesson," the other "Thanksgiving." I plugged the Workshop in my bio information. :o)


Rebeca Schiller

My first book review-ever-has been published and posted on the Internet Review of Books for Paul Roberts' "The End of Food." To read my "astute" review, go to http://internetreviewofbooks.com/may08/the_end_of_food.html


Wayne Scheer

To my surprise, when you click on the new issue of the Internet Review of Books, you see my smiling, albeit aging face. My essay, "Bibliotherapy," won First Place in the Lasting Impressions contest. Wahoo!

Also, add my 55-word story, "A Freshly Made Bed," to the host of IWW members with work in the June issue of Pen Pricks.

Finally, Big Pulp bought my story, "And Now for Something Completely Different" for an issue some time in 2009.

Thanks to everyone, particularly the staff at the Internet Review of Books.

I join some great writers here with an appearance at SnipLits. The publisher put me with historical stories, although I think of it as more literary.
