Context 21
Category: Writing and Poetry

I'll be attending Context 21 in Columbus (Sept. 26-28). I'll be there all day Saturday and part of Sunday.

For those who have been waiting for Zerostrata and Jack and Mr. Grin, no, you're not hallucinating or missing it, they haven't come out yet. No real worries or reasons for the delays. The books are finished and with the publisher. This is the small press, sometimes there will be delays. But they should be out soon. Zerostrata will actually be out before Jack and Mr. Grin. If you're a reviewer and you're interested in reading a PDF of either of these, send me an email at andersenprunty@yahoo.com and I'll hook you up.

Viva bizarro!

BRADLEY SANDS IS A DICK (The Update)
Category: Writing and Poetry

I am opening the BRADLEY SANDS IS A DICK anthology up to submissions. I have posted the original guidelines below for those who are too lazy or ill-equipped to scroll down. It's a rough world. I'm here to make your life easier. A couple of notes:

-Just because the anthology is entitled BRADLEY SANDS IS A DICK does not mean that every story must feature Bradley Sands.

-Titling your story is futile as all stories will be called "Bradley Sands is a Dick."

-The story need not be about the evisceration/ridicule/humiliation of Bradley Sands.

-The story should be bizarro/irreal/surreal. If you don't know what that means you should probably do some research.

-If I reject you, it doesn't mean I don't like you or your writing. It means the story wasn't correct for this anthology. No hard feelings.

-Send your story as an attachment. Include your authorial name and email address with the story. If this isn't included, you will not get a response. Sorry. 

Here are the guidelines:

BRADLEY SANDS IS A DICK strives to be the most ill-conceived, poorly planned e-anthology out there. Please send your stories to me, Andersen Prunty, at andersenprunty@yahoo.com. Include "Bradley Sands is a Dick" in the subject line. I will send you an email letting you know it has been received. I will kind of edit the anthology. Every story will be titled "Bradley Sands is a Dick." I should come away from your submissions feeling that Bradley Sands is a dick. How you make me feel this way is entirely up to you. Submissions should be 1000 words or less. They should be bizarro, weird, funny, angry, or a combination. You are welcome to submit them to me whenever but I will not begin reading them until September 1, 2008 (This is a lie. Please see above.) I will stop reading them December 1, 2008 (This is still true). In January 2009, the selected stories will appear as a free .pdf e-anthology published by BUST DOWN THE DOOR AND EAT ALL THE CHICKENS and co-edited by Bradley Sands. Readers will vote on the selected stories (I don't actually have any idea how we'll do this. Send me an email if you would like to help or have any ideas). The author of the winning story will be paid 100 American dollars and the much sought after title of Bradley Sands' arch-nemesis.

Sandwich Free Updates
Category: Writing and Poetry

I have no sandwiches for you today. But I have updates!

1. I am currently back in editing hell. I think I now do more editing than writing.

2. Jeff Burk has reviewed JACK AND MR. GRIN for his Literary Strange Digest. He does not have an "e" at the end of his name.

3. I recently reviewed Eckhard Gerdes' latest book, MY LANDLADY THE LOBOTOMIST. It was cool as hell. You should check it out.

4. I also have a blurb on Tony Rauch's latest book, LAREDO. It is a short story collection comprised of funny and surreal stories. If you like THE OVERWHELMING URGE, you will probably like it.

5. Bad Moon Books will no longer be publishing THE SORROW KING.

6. D. Harlan Wilson's latest, BLANKETY BLANK: A MEMOIR OF VULGARIA is up for pre-order at a discounted price. You should take advantage of this.

Later!
