The magazine is coming alone very well. <br />We are making a lot of progress in all areas. Just a heads<br />up: authors, if you have not yet responded to the acceptance<br />e-mail, do so as soon as possible. If we do not hear from<br />you by this Friday, we will be forced to remove your<br />piece from our collection. <br /><br />Also, artists: if you haven't heard from us yet, you're still<br />okay. If you submitted, it is likely that at least one of your<br />pieces has been accepted. Definite decisions will be made<br />ideally by Friday. <br /><br />Thanks.

The magazine is going to be a really great<br />body of work. We can't wait to share it with you in <br />January. Until then, Ryan might post a piece from <br />the magazine now and then. Sometimes he can't help it. <br /><br />Also, if you have submitted art and have not heard from<br />us about you submission, do not be discouraged. We <br />have not many any final decisions about art yet. We are<br />still playing around to see how much space we have, and<br />what art would compliment accepted writing. <br /><br />If you have submitted written work, and <br />have not yet heard from us, it is likely you were not <br />selected for this issue. But! There were a lot of pieces<br />we were really torn about, so please don't be shy about<br />submitting to future editions. Thank you all for your<br />support. <br /><br />Stay tuned!<br /><br />xx<br />threewaxbirdsthreewaxbirds presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497181593910836092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758018669324620937.post-27014071235591379052008-11-11T23:08:00.000-08:002008-11-11T23:15:42.386-08:00Did you miss the deadline?Yep. You should probably get this off your conscience. <br />If you are still interested in contributing to our first magazine, <br />then you're probably good people. Send your submissions anyways. <br />We'll still consider them. We're also good people. With kind hearts. <br />And sick need for writing. We're like needy poetry junkies. <br />So send 'em along. <br /><br />Also, when we say "literary magazine," we really mean <br />"hey, we're really open-minded. We accept lots of different things."<br />Unfortunately, that doesn't have the same ring as "literary magazine."<br /><br />In other words, we like poems, stories, essays, photographs, <br />polaroids, grocery lists, letters you've written, letters you've received,<br />drawings from first grade, drawings from last week, collages, <br />secrets you've committed to paper, haiku, lists of things that<br />keep you up at night. <br /><br />We like it all. <br />Don't be <a href="http://mtceuropavideo.com/dontbeafraidofdark.jpg">afraid</a> to send it our way. <br /><br /><br />In fact, <a href="mailto:threewaxbirdspress@gmail.com">do it tonight</a>! <br /><br />Check out our <a href="http://www.threewaxbirds.com">website</a> to learn more <br />about us and our company!threewaxbirds presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497181593910836092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758018669324620937.post-19026716808800812822008-11-05T22:27:00.000-08:002008-11-05T22:29:43.575-08:00Nerve DeadlineDeadline for submissions is so soon!<br /><br />The chance to be published in the first edition of [Nerve] <br />ends tomorrow!

We are currently looking for writers, poets, photographers, and artists looking to get their work published. We have a special place in our hearts for work that speaks from the edges, that takes on an unusual and new lens. threewaxbirds books highlight the beauty, irony, and pain of everyday life. They are books that are poetic, simple, memorable, and poignant. They are dark; they are hopeful. They are the product of sleepless nights and personal demons. They are funny; they are heartbreaking. Above all, books from threewaxbirds press are honest.<br><br><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Staff:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Ryan </span>thinks hinks his best writing is often lost by the time he wakes up. He takes pictures and writes on the backs of his hands. He is the Editor & (Micro)Manager.<br><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Eli </span>is an excellent internet researcher, but tends not to click the first link that comes up. (He feels that doing so supports The Man.) He writes and researches. He is the Executive of Crafts and Charity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jane</span> is pretty neurotic. One time she informed her doctor that she had a brain tumor; he assured her she didn't. She replied, "You will be sorry when I die." This is all you need to know about her. She is the Executive Reality/Symptom Checker.<br /><br /><br /><br>Realistically, we are just hoping for a reality TV show. (We will settle for TrueLife or an HBO Documentary. Sometimes we are bold enough to dream that in twenty years we'll be featured on VH1 Behind The Music.) Let us know if you have connections. <br /><br /><br>Always, <Br> threewaxbirds pressthreewaxbirds presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497181593910836092noreply@blogger.com0
