For women who write

Posted by on May 15 at 14:06 PM

Ladies: The deadline for submitting essays, short stories, memoirs, photos, and poetry for the next edition of the women’s lit mag Swivel: The Nexus of Women and Wit is, uh, today.

I was first introduced to Swivel last summer during Bumbershoot, when I caught their Indiscretions Road Show, featuring Aimee Bender, Vendela Vida, Lauren Weedman, and Ali Davis, who blew me away with excerpts from her True Porn Clerk Diaries. It was a great show.

If you haven’t heard of Swivel before, I’d suggest picking up a copy (available at Elliot Bay books and probably other places). It’s a great read, plus it’s Seattle based! You can see what they’re about on their website. Peruse, enjoy, and maybe think about submitting something (if not today, think fondly of the future!). It can’t hurt.
