menus and tantalizing recipes built around herbs and
edible flowers. Almost all written by freelancers.

BORDER CROSSING Border Crossing is a literary and arts journal published by the Lake
Superior State University Creative Writing Program. In contrast to
many
campus literary journals, our editorial board consists of both
faculty and
student editors.
We strive to print the best
work submitted by emerging and established
American and Canadian
writers alongside the very best student writing. All
of our
submissions go through a rigorous editorial board process, with no
distinction made between the standards for student and professional
work.
Visual art is only considered from residents of Michigan's
Upper Peninsula
in order to provide an outlet for area artists in
which to publish their
work.
Our journal was founded in
2011 and is on its second issue.
Please read our submission
guidelines which are posted on our submission manager:

NEW MT. SAC WEBSITE FOR WRITERS John Brantingham, Chair of the English department at Mt Sac Junior College is coordinating an outreach site for artists, writers in particular, to gather in the virtual internet world and with a festival, the first planned for 2013. This is in the beginning stages - progress and links are on posted on facebook under San Gabriel Literature festival. The website in progress is www.sgvlitfest.com
They are looking to promote local writing and art related websites. John has great experience in beginning writers. He has found that most writers quit because they feel they do not belong, they need to know about the various communities and support systems that are available to keep the writer chugging through the hard work, despairs and frustration that stop writers from finishing their work, or believing in
themselves.
RADIUS
Radius: Poetry From the Center to the Edge is an online literary journal in blog format dedicated to poetry: How poetry works, how one poem
or body of poems connects to another, how poetry exists in the world. We're big believers around here that poetry doesn't exist in a vacuum,
and that it has a role to play in life, politics and culture.
Radius is brought to you by the creators of The November 3rd Club, and uploads new poems and prose several times a week. Among the writers
we've published are Patricia Smith, Sharon Doubiago, Willie Perdomo, Ira Sadoff, Daphne Gottlieb, Kazim Al, Jeffrey McDaniel, Dodie Bellamy,
Anis Mojgani, Hugh Fox and many, many more.
Submissions link:
radiuslit.submishmash.com/submit
We welcome submissions, but please take a look at our submissions guidelines
beforehand, as our needs are rather specialized, including:
ELEGIES FOR POETS: Poems that reflect the loss of a poet who's passed on, especially poems that make the reader feel the force of that poet's absence.POLITICAL POEMS: A legacy from The November 3rd Club. We're looking for poems that reflect politics in its broadest form and rise above simple rhetoric, poems that humanize otherwise overwhelming issues, and that touch upon the currents that come when six-billion diverse people attempt to share a planet.INVENTED FORMS: Poetic forms which, arguably, have never existed before. Please include instructions.So, please, take a second to check out the new site, and feel free to join in the conversation. There's some exciting territory ahead.

southeastern corner of California and encompasses all of Riverside and

the lows of Death Valley, from the wineries of Temecula to the
shuttered citrus packing houses of Riverside, and all points in-between.

Hi CWC chapters,
I am a member of the Writers of Kern, and have been also involved with the San Mateo County Fair Literary Arts program. We have launched a new blog for professional writers to promote their work and insights on the writing process. To keep this going beyond the San Mateo County Fair, I would like to tap the talents of the CWC members.
If you think this may be of interest, please let your members know about the new blog. I will be pushing it out through Google Adwords and Facebook over the course of the Fair to build the audience. Any additional help to push it out onto the social networking sites will be appreciated.
Regards,
Karen Blake
