Newsletter (May 2007)

Dear Friends,

Ex Machina Press made its presence known at UCLA during the LA Times Festival of Books. Lots of sun, lots of customers, Featured Author Tod Goldberg signing copies of Silent Voices Volume Three, and plenty of panel discussions, featuring authors who share their words of wisdom about their craft. Now that everyone has recovered from the event, some current items everyone needs to know.

Submission Call for Silent Voices Volume Four Begins August 1

And the games shall begin once again. Last year, we had 400 submissions for Silent Voices Volume Three. What will it be this year? The Fall Issues of Poets and Writers and Writer's Chronicle will announce the following:

Submission Call for Silent Voices, Volume Four begins August 1 and ends November 10. All submission guidelines are listed here.

I cannot stress this enough: we also sponsor a contest during this call. For a $300 prize, enter your work for only $12. Here is the link

Remember, we are not accepting early submissions. People often ask us what kind of fiction we publish. The answer is simple: all kinds. Check out the submission guidelines and we strongly recommend to purchase sample copies of ANY volume. The quality of excellence is universal for all three volumes. So, break those typewriters out and create some magic. We are looking forward to receiving your work in August.
