It's here! It's finally here! The 2010 edition of the Young Writers Literary Journal:
http://bit.ly/bLI4Ph

For Authors
If your work is appearing in the Journal, then you have two copies in the mail for you.

For Everyone
Right now, the YWLJ is only available on Lulu. That will change in the next few weeks as it begins to show up at online booksellers across the globe. However, I hope you'll buy it from Lulu rather than anyone else. Why? Because Lulu shares a larger amount of the revenue, and this Journal cost one mighty pretty penny to put together!

The retail price of the book is $14.95 (US), and $9.95 as an e-book. If you cannot afford it, no worries. There are couple of ways you may be able to get it for free. The first is by requesting that your library purchase it. Most libraries have purchase suggestion cards, and some even have forms online where you can request books. The second is by participating in a special contest this April. Ten people will be selected through the contest to receive a copy of the YWLJ.

By the way, if you have a relative that doesn't really mind spending money, you can always suggest that they buy, say, a dozen copies... ;)

Do they have information about the site on the inside? Would they be useful to purchase and distribute as advertising in this way?

I guess I've never seen a literary journal so I don't know what kind of introduction comes before the pieces.
you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants

Maybe, and the chances increase the more people buy a copy. So if you really actually want to see another one, buy a copy!

Not everyone's! That would be too big. But a bunch of members are in. :)

Moth and Myth <- My comic! :D



I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
