Saturday Notes

I'm helping to formulate questions for Conquering Venus that Vanilla Heart will send out to book clubs and the press. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. Anyone else done this? Or any online recommendations to share? 

Hobble Creek Review is now open for submissions again. You can send up to five poems, creative non-fiction and essays in the body of an email. For full guidelines visit the website. The current issue -- featuring Mary Biddinger, John Gallaher, Chris Crittenden, Gary Nolan and more -- is the best issue yet! Fellow blogger Justin Evans is the editor. 

Have you entered Project Verse yet? The deadline is March 19 so get a move on. The prize package has been sweetened, too. 

Zachary Steele's debut novel, Anointed, is being launched tonight at Wordsmiths Books in Decatur at 7:30 p.m.
