Dedicated
Carve Readers,
This is
an exciting issue for us! We have recently added
twitter to our social
networking-network, we've announced our
Pushcart Prize nominations,
we've updated our very own bios so
you can know what we're up to when we're not buried to our
necks in submissions, and we're finally getting caught up
with our snail mail submissions! (You'll get your
response soon if you haven't already!)
And of
course, there are
four new stories that I hope you enjoy. As always,
Carve strives to have diverse voices and stories
represented in the magazine, whether they're from published
veterans or newcomers to the literary scene. This past
year has showcased our strongest and most unique stories
yet. It's not too late to read them if you've missed
our earlier issues. Just click over to the
Archives page!
If you'd
rather have the stories in your hands, in a paperback bound
book, our 2008 Anthology will be
coming soon within the first couple months of 2009.
The anthology will feature all 16 stories published this
year.
Reaching
further back into our history, our new Carve Classics
page will be premiering soon as well. This page will
be dedicated to the stories published before 2007 under the
previous editor. While not all the stories will be
immediately available, we hope this new section of the site
will spur the completion of the complete magazine archives.
And last
but not least, the 2009 Raymond Carver Short Story will be
in the summer issue, meaning the contest is only a couple of
months away! Follow our
twitter, our
Facebook, or subscribe by email
to make sure you are the first to know when the judge is
announced and when submissions are accepted!
But in
the meantime, you have four stories to read. Enjoy
them all!
Sincerely,
Matthew
Limpede, Editor
