Hi there,
I am looking for a writer to write with with me some materials for a stand-up show (i would be the one on stage). I have already some materials but when it come to writing i am kind of lazy and i am better working with a partner if we click together right away. Of course, there’s no pay, it’s just for the fun of it but we might get a lot of it who knows.
If you think you have some funny ideas, contact me and let’s work together but be careful…comedy is a serious business. comm-nurkv-1657757864@craigslist.org

Writer meets artist.

Writer and artist come up with an idea, flesh out concepts, characters, writing/art styles, design specifications. Writer creates scripts, sends to artist. Artist draws strip, sends back to writer. Writer letters. Both review, put up for instant fame and fortune.

I did this for a few years previously. First by myself, then with some artists from SJSU. I’d like to do it again. If you’re nearby, that’s great. If not, it can still work. I was an English major, coordinated poetry workshops for a year, and currently write song lyrics/melodies. I have experience with comics and writing in general.

I really don’t want to wear a suit.

This is me, if you’d like to take a look. www.myspace.com/sanchezmichaels

I am a student in Tucson, AZ and I am trying to collect research data from across the country on how artists in the art & design fields market themselves.

Below is the link to a very brief survey (only 8 questions!). I would appreciate your participation and answers as it would greatly help me with my research project.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Referential Magazine was launched January 20th 2010.
http://referentialm agazine.com/

Since our launch we have released one “issue” which included a featured poem as well as several “referred” poems and one “referred” story.

We are currently open for referred material as well as for a new featured piece.

For more detailed guidelines please visit referentialmagazine .com/guidelines

In brief we are looking for:

Referred material – you can choose any piece of writing on our site (or an individual word/phrase in a piece) to refer another piece of art. This can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, comix, stage/screen, photography, art, mixed media, audio/video. The idea of referring is open to wide interpretation. We read for referred material year round.

Featured – We will be reading during the month of April for a new featured piece to debut in May. A featured piece does not have to refer to any of the other writing but just needs to be your best writing.

Again, please check out our guidelines but email us at <refermag(at) gmail.com>
(replace (at) with @) for questions and submissions.

Call for Poetry Submissions: Knocking at the Door

Knocking at the Door: Approaching the Other seeks fresh work exploring the theme of reconciling and/or coming to an understanding with the Other as it appears in all aspects of life: personal, political and societal. We want honest chronicles of your struggles to come to terms with the Other in all its forms and your sense of humor. Some of the editor’s favorite authors include Rilke, Ilya Kaminsky, Jack McCarthy and Harryette Mullen, but most of all we love poems with a unique voice of their own that defy categorization.

Think along the lines of Daphne Gottlieb in her book “Final Girl”, Margaret Atwood’s “Solstice Poem”, Paul Celan, Tess Gallagher’s “Conversation with a Fireman from Brooklyn” or Patricia Smith’s “Skinhead”. We’re less interested in poems written to reflect the woe or angst of the persona than poems reaching to understand and explore the world outside.

Submission Guidelines:

Submissions will be accepted from February 15, 2010 to May 15, 2010
No previously published work or simultaneous submissions, please.
Send your submissions via an email to <poetryeditors( at)buddhapussink .com> (replace (at) with @)
with the subject line “Submission for Knocking at the Door from <your name>” and an attached file in .doc or .rtf format including:

Your name & contact information
A brief author bio
3 – 5 poems, 10 pages maximum, single-spaced in at least 12 pt. font. We will think less of you if you use Comic Sans.

Any submissions that do not follow these guidelines will not be considered.
Notifications will be sent out via email in August 2010.
Payment for publication of accepted poems: 2 copies of the completed anthology in which your work appears.

Send your best words our way! We read and choose writing democratically, pluralistically, ecumenically; therefore, we like to print a mix of writing regardless of its form, genre, school, or politics. We publish newcomers and established writers alike.

– Lisa Sisler & Lea C. Deschenes, Knocking at the Door Editors
