IWW Members' Publishing Successes

Another big week for IWW writers. We're on a roll!

William Bartlett

My nonfiction piece "My Son?" has been accepted for publication by the magazine Kansas City Parent and will appear in the April edition in the column "A Word from Dad."

Many thanks to all you critters that helped me to get to this point. More thanks to all that just read them and weren't able send a crit.


Karna Converse

A short devotion, "The Annual Christmas Letter," will appear in A Cup of Comfort of Christmas Prayer, to be published in Fall 2009 by Adams Media. Non-fiction critters did not see this one but may remember offering suggestions on another devotion I subbed to the group last December. That particular one wasn't chosen, but the comments helped me shape this one.


Alice Folkart

It's almost embarrassing, but I find myself again on the pages of an elegant review. Camroc Press Review has published my essay "A Writer's Journals," inspired only this morning by an on-line discussion of what writers do with their writing journals as they accumulate.

I thank the editor, Barry Basden, for noticing the piece and thinking it suitable for his publication.

And the excellent journal Four and Twenty has included my poem "Competition" in their February edition. Click on the large Four and Twenty logo to enter the current edition. A list of contributors goes first, followed by the poems, each on its own "page." Mine is #13.

Working with the Four and Twenty editor was a pleasant experience. But even more pleasant was the notice from them a month or so ago that they'd accepted the poem--I didn't remember submitting it. I think that I'd seen a Yahoo by Joanna Weston and followed the link to take a look and decided then and there to submit something. Very spur-of-the-moment. Sometimes that's a good thing.

Hope you all enjoy my poem and the many other good pieces at Four and Twenty, and maybe you'd like to submit something of no more than four lines, nor twenty words.


Rebecca Gaffron

My story "A Writer's Fantasy" has been accepted by The Cynic Online. It should be up in early April. Many thanks to the IWW community for all the support, resources and motivation.


Lynne Hinkey

Yahoo! My review of Every Living Thing, by Rob Dunn, is up on the Internet Review of Books. As you'll see from the review, I highly recommend this for both its entertainment and scholarly value.


Shea Joy

My story "Look it Up" was one of three finalists in Victoria Mixon's Valentine's Day mystery contest.


Rebecca Kellogg

My piece "How to write a press release," published in MassageMag.com is now available for viewing online.

The piece is geared toward massage therapists who want to write a press release about their business.


Ellen Kombiyil

I'm pleased to report that my Iraq War poem "Embracing the Suck" is up at Juked. This is an edgier poem, containing what some may consider offensive language. At first, I didn't know where to submit it. I have to really thank all the poets on Poetry-W for not only encouraging me, but also offering market suggestions. Finally, the answer came from a yahoo from Jayne Pupek, which lead me to Juked.

Juked publishes prose and fiction--not all, or even most of it, edgy. It's quite an eclectic range--read some to get a feel. In addition to the online journal, they are also currently reading for the print version of Juked (#7). Guidelines can be found here.

And, if you'd like to read the poem, it can be found here:

Thanks for all the continued support!


Wayne Scheer

My short story, "Autumn Moon," will be published in The Binnacle, the literary journal of The University of Maine at Machias.

My flash with the unlikely title of "On Poetry and Boots That Don't Fit" has been accepted by the Birmingham Arts Review. Thanks to Alice Folkart for reminding me of this publication.

Another flash, "Home for the Holidays," has been accepted at Bad Things.

I'm joining Sue Ellis in the current Issue of Wild Violet. My story "Girls Night Out," which began in Practice, is included in their Fiction section.

And my story "Rude Awakening," which began in Practice, is up at Every Day Fiction. They put up a story a day, so it'll be gone quickly.

Rebeca Schiller

Two things to note: My review of War is Beautiful is up on the Internet Review of Books. It's also included in the news section of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives.


Joanna M. Weston

My poem "Spewed up" is up at Camroc Press Review. It records one of those moments that are infinitely forgettable and yet stick in memory forever.
