Fringe Magazine seeking submissions NOW
October 30th, 2009 No Comments
Fringe Magazine seeks submissions for its fourth anniversary theme issue, “Working.”
To paraphrase a children’s classic, everybody works. Work crosses barriers between race, class, and gender, and sometimes (but not always) describes a person’s place in the broader social order.

What a Difference a Year Makes: Reflections on AWP 2009
February 24th, 2009 No Comments
I returned from my second AWP conference exhausted, laden with lit journals and assorted swag, and feeling a mixture of inspiration and disappointment. I promptly took a long nap, and only after I woke up the next morning was I able to properly begin processing the 4-day hurricane known as AWP.

Vernacular Blogs from AWP in Chicago!

Lizzie Stark, the MacGuyver of Lit Mags
September 24th, 2008 1 Comment
We here at Vernacular love a juicy “Emerson alum makes good” story (unless we don’t like you, in which case, it qualifies as bragging, and no one likes a braggart, so just shut up and get on with your “accomplishments” and leave us in peace).
