Another?

The latest in the anthology series Shades of Truth by Pinchback Press!

Caught: True Crime Tales of Scamming, Scheming & Sliding By

“Whether you’ve stolen, conned, lied, or cheated: here is your chance to come clean. Tell us about the times you’ve ripped someone off, the five finger discounts you’ve taken, the little white lies you’ve told. Confession is good for the soul and we want to hear every crafty detail of yours. Tell us the tactless, the tricky and the downright terrible and we may want to publish it.

We are interested in unique personal essays that will disgust and delight readers. We want to hear from everyone, from petty criminals to hardened cons. Submissions might play with the nurture vs. nature theme, could be mastermind masterpieces, or may even be ‘anti’ crime; the collection as whole will evoke strong emotion and stand out in this popular genre.

A pseudonym may be used to protect your identity–just let us know! (Your secrets are safe with us).

GUIDELINES

All essays should be nonfiction narratives, written in the first-person. Focus on one or a few selected events; do not send rants or political speeches. Stories should be titled. Essays should be between 1000 – 5000 words, double-spaced, paginated and word-processed. No funky fonts, please.

Please include a brief bio (1-3 sentences) at the end of your submission.

DEADLINE

August 1, 2010

Please send your submissions to: blue@pinchbackpress.com

Writers chosen for the book will be contacted by September 2010. Their selected stories will be published in an anthology to be released by winter 2011. Each contributor receives two free copies of the finished book.”

& next?

One that sent me into such a LOLercaust, I spewed Diet Coke all over myself:

90 Kinds Of Bitches

“There are 90 kinds of bitches.
Found on the floor of a 3rd Grade Washington D.C. classroom, ‘Types of Bitches’ is this season’s must-read Internet meme. Alternatively offensive and hilarious, the school kids list of 90 different kinds of bitches (example: ”Talking behind your back bitches”, “White bitches that think black people poor”, “Geekin bitches”) begs for reinterpretation. If you’d like to learn more about the original list, visit And I Am Not Lying

THE PROJECT

Launching in late May, KINDS OF BITCHES is an art-blog project. Each post will feature one of the 90 types of bitches– with a photo and a 500-700 word written piece about that kind of bitch. The goal of the site is to subvert the sexism/ gender identity of the list, while also celebrating feminity. If all goes well, we hope to make this into a book.

We’re looking for talented writers and photographers to submit to this unique project. Please pass this along and repost.

WRITER’S GUIDELINES

- Select a type of bitch from the list below.

- Write 500-700 words about the type. It can be a story, an essay, a personal memory, even a poem. Use your bitch as a starting point. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us think.

- Email your submission in the body of an email along with your name to listmaker@kindsofbitches.com

- If selected, we’ll contact you with more info.

PHOTOGRAPHER’S GUIDELINES

- Select a type of bitch from the list below.

- Make an original image inspired by your bitch. You can use all the tricks of the trade to make your image, but no paintings or illustrations please.

- You must use your own image and/or have the copyright to whatever material you use (and be able to prove it.)

- Email your photo (no more than 5MB) as a PNG or JPG in an email along with your name to listmaker@kindsofbitches.com

- If selected, we’ll contact you with more info. Be ready to provide a hi-res version as well.”

★ FINAL DEADLINE IS MAY 15th! ★

:: information about ::

“Depression, addiction and mental illness are common problems in the modern world, with one in four people likely to experience a mental health problem every year. Established in 2009, Little Episodes is a not-for-profit organization consisting of professional writers, artists, musicians and actors with two prongs to its mission statement. The first, to destigmatize depression, addiction and mental illness, whilst raising awareness and providing empathy. The second is to provide a platform for talented, emerging and established writers/artists to find community and recognition. We combine the two by giving our participating writers and artists the first statement as their theme.”

Founded in the U.K., Little Episodes also curates ‘Late Night Episodes,’ a recurring event featuring spoken word, performance, music and visual art. Late Night Episodes is held at the Novas Contemporary Urban Centre (London) on the last Saturday of every month.
