Vine Leaves Literary Magazine mentorship program

from the website:

The Vine Leaves Mentorship Program

 

Not to beat you over the head with our mandate, but Vine Leaves has always been about supporting our fellow writers—giving voice to a writing style that is often ignored in traditional publishing circles. This year, we're taking that support one step further.

We receive thousands of submissions annually—good, great, AMAZING work from talented writers across the globe. While each submission is carefully considered by our editorial team, some are a little harder to reject than others. These submissions straddle the line between "not quite right" and "almost,"they contain a certain spark, or the writer has demonstrated an impressive work ethic. Those submissions give us an extra little ache when we hit the "decline" button.

But this year, we've decided to select one of those vignettes per submission period and mentor the writer, work with him or her until the piece goes from "not quite right" to "this is perfect for us." We're excited to continue our support of YOU—and continue to thank you for your support of us.

Submissions are currently open.


The next issue of Vine Leaves Literary Journal goes to press April 18, 2014 - lots of time for you to get your vignettes in. The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2014.

call for submissions: Greenville College's new journal, Scrib

We would like to invite you, your students, and your colleagues to participate in an exciting new artistic venture. Scrib, GC’s first online literary journal, is accepting submissions for its debut issue in spring 2014. The journal accepts work from students and faculty in all schools within the CCCU network and beyond. We want to see writing, art, music, and videos that explore the human experience with authenticity, connect with the reader on a personal level, and linger in the viewer’s mind long after reaching the end. 

The journal kicks off this month with a special contest for high school and college students. The Live Arts contest encourages students to produce creative work that celebrates the interaction of art and life. Grand prize winners will be published in two of GC’s multimedia publications, Scrib and The Vista.

See the Live Arts tab at scriblerus.greenville.edu to learn more or submit work to the contest.

We look forward to working with you. For more information about the journal and how to get involved, please contact Scrib Rachel Heston-Davis (rachel.davis@greenville.edu) or Alexandria LaFaye (alexandria.lafaye@greenville.edu).
