Writers: Beat the Drum!

The Drum is an online literary magazine with a twist: The Drum publishes all its content exclusively in audio form!

They offer listeners short fiction and essays that they can listen to on the site or download to an mp3 player. In the future, they will be offering public-domain works read aloud by notable and familiar voices, as well as occasional interviews with noted authors.

The Drum launched on May 1 with work from New York Times best-seller Jenna Blum, award-winning Bret Anthony Thomas, and Faulkner-Wisdom Finalist Randy Susan Meyers, among others. The June issue will feature work from Maud Casey, Ben Percy, and Lauren Grodstein, and many other emerging and established writers.

They are looking for submissions of new short fiction and essays and encourage writers to visit www.drumlitmag.com for more information and submission guidelines–as well as just to enjoy listening to the great work currently on the site.

My Favorite Writing Competition

William Faulkner

The William Faulkner – William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition offers competition in several categories, including Novel, Novel in Progress (for those of us who just can’t seem to finish!), Novella, Short Story, Essay, Poetry, and Short Story by a High School Student.

I’ve had the privilege of being a multiple finalist in Novel in Progress and Essay categories, and was 1st runner-up in Novel in Progress a couple years ago: I can’t tell you how many doors that opened for me!

And I’m not alone – read this great blog entry from the Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society on 12 amazing success stories coming from the competition: CLICK HERE!

I encourage everyone to give this one a go. The instructions to enter are easy; the folks who run it all are first class, and the judges are well-qualified! PLUS, winners get to accept their awards in front of the nation’s best and brightest authors, agents and editors at the Words & Music: A Literary Arts Festival in New Orleans this November! Hope I’ll see you there…
