If you appreciate Hazel Smith's soundwriting, check out this on-line journal:

The journal  soundsRite, at  http://soundsrite.uws.edu.au/, was established
in 2009 at the University of Western Sydney and is co-edited by Prof. Hazel
Smith (Writing and Society Research Group, UWS)  and Prof. Roger Dean (MARCS
Auditory Laboratories, UWS). soundsRite is online and open access and
publishes selected new media work which includes words or sound or both.  It
features generative, interactive and multi-channel sound pieces; writing
which is kinetic, generative or interactive; and  pieces which combine text,
sound and image. The soundsRite site also archives an earlier multimedia
journal, infLect, founded and edited by Hazel Smith at the University of
Canberra (2003-2007). The focus of infLect was new media writing.

Am I to blame for that compact snow? Every stone is self.

Oh, forgive me, there was little more heat.

Some Summer Reading

A call for submissions for an anthology of Flash Fiction stories for teenagers

Forwarded from Ravi Shakar:

Edited by Tom Hazuka, Christine Perkins and Mark Budman

To be published by Persea Books in 2010. The target audience is students grades 8 to 12. Stories cover a broad range of topics of interest to contemporary teens such as growing up, budding sexuality, finding a place in society, etc. The main criteria for the stories are literary/artistic values, teen interests and a length of 1000 words or shorter. Various POVS are acceptable as long as the stories focus on teens.
 
We are looking for more diverse stories (African American, Asian American, Native American, LGBT, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), and more stories about, or at least featuring, current technology (cell phones, computers, etc.).
 
Previously published stories are fine, but you must hold the rights.
 
Please submit electronically an RTF attachment to Mark Budman at editor_AT_stny.rr.com and copy Tom Hazuka at hazukaj_AT_ccsu.edu
