NEW GUIDELINES AND DEADLINE FOR SNOWVIGATE PRINTED ANTHOLOGY
Dear Editors and Writers,
In an attempt to make the nominations as extensive as possible, we have changed the guidelines for our anthology. You are now able to nominate MORE than 3 writers, as long as your total amount of links does not go beyond 20. The new guidelines are explained below in paragraph 3 of this revised release.
Also, fiction and non-fiction is NOT limited to "flash." These submissions can be of any length.
Thank you,
Doug Martin
_______________________________________________________________________________________ As a result of a generous grant from Indiana State University, Snow*Vigate Press will be publishing a printed anthology of the best on-line writing which has appeared over the past ten years. Hopefully the anthology will be released in August 2007.
The book will include poetry broken into lines, prose poetry, flash fiction, long fictional pieces, creative non-fiction, and 10 minute plays. If you would like to nominate your own on-line work or work from others, please follow these guidelines:
Paste the URLs of no more than 20 works in the body of your email. You may nominate ONE piece from 20 different writers, or a total of 20 pieces from a combination of writers (ONE piece from SIX different writers, FOUR pieces from ONE writer, and 10 pieces of your own writing, for example). The combination does not matter, but please limit your submissions to no more than 20 links. In the subject line of your email, please type "Submission to Snow*Vigate Anthology." Send all submissions to dougmartin832@yahoo.com.
Work from any on-line site is acceptable, as long as it has not been published in printed form.
The submission period will end on October 15, 2006.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Doug Martin

We've been working hard on the next issue of Snowvigate, as well as the anthology. Look forward to seeing new work in the next issue from Mark Tursi, Joanna Howard, Derek White, Peter Conners, Corey Zeller, George Looney, and other writers from the first issue.

A Yippie! to Girija Tropp. She has won the Josephine Ulrich Literature Prize, a $10,000 cash award, for her story "Advent".
Since we found out in a snow-moment's notice right at press time about Kim Chinquee's Pushcart Prize, we forgot to mention that "Formation" is her story which won. It was first published in NOON.
Cooper Renner's translation of Mario Bellatin's Chinese Checkers: Three Fictions is available from Ravenna Press. If it is not yet linked in the "Books" section of Ravenna's website, use the e-mail address within the site to order it.

****Snowvigate Print Anthology!****
Doug Martin, an editor at Snow*vigate, has just been awarded a Promising Scholar Grant from Indiana State University to publish a printed anthology of the best writing appearing in online journals over the past ten years. Thus, Snow*vigate Press will be contacting editors of online journals in the near future, and will be taking nominations from anyone who wishes to submit them. Writers, editors, and readers will be able to nominate their own work, as well. The beginning date to submit nominations of what you feel is the best online work for the past ten years will begin hopefully in August. For now, we are busy working on the second issue of Snow*vigate and compiling information to send guidelines for nominations to as many people in the online writing community as possible. We will be posting more information on the anthology and how to submit online-published work in a few months. Check back to this "News" section periodically for updates.
Peter Conner's PP/FF: An Anthology has just been released from Starcherone Books. It is a must read, with work from some of the best writers composing in prose poetry and flash fiction today. In fact, I'm using it as a text in my creative writing class next semester at Indiana State.

Snow*Vigate is live and the baby is content. Watch this space for future announcements. There are some rumors circulating that the second issue will be up by fall, and there just might could be a Snowvigate-sponsored contest. We'll see.
Check the blog for more frequent updates, and news about the adventures of Professor Doug Martin.
And for those of you who have been wondering, it rhymes with navigate.
