Dueling Columns – I’m all for Simultaneous Submissions
Posted on August 31, 2009 14 Comments
First of all, Larina and I are doing a dueling column on this issue. I am FOR simultaneous submission (the writer’s perspective) and Larina is FOR no simultaneous submission (editor’s perspective). You can read her column right here, and YES it IS the same WordPress site. Cute isn’t it? We’re like twins. http://larina.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/simsubs/ I’ll post […]

Okay, so I ran across this great article at Omnidawn today ( http://www.omnidawn.com/ ) and even though it was dated 2006, it sounds as if it was written yesterday. It relates to a lot of what I personally write, as well as many of my friends and peers. I see Brian Evenson talking about it […]

I’ve been a peer and friend of Christopher for a couple of years now. We often joke that we were separated at birth. Brothers from another mother. We have very similar styles, and I think that is why we were drawn to each other’s work. We both like heavy setting, lyrical prose and the darker […]

He recorded the voice-over work for my story up at Word Riot, is a very active and supportive member of my novel workshop, Write Club, plays a major role at The Velvet and has published alongside me in Colored Chalk.
