NEAT. Goes Dancing at the Cabaret

Don’t forget that NEAT. is accepting submissions for Issue 8! Our theme this quarter is cabaret. I want fun, flirty, fast-paced. I think our diverse submission pool is going to give it to me. Ooooh I can’t wait to read these subs. View our submission guidelines.

Hello hello from the great white Midwest

Concerned readers will be happy to know that I am finally back from my hiatus. I am writing to you from a whole new city: Chicago! A lot of packing, an ungodly amount of stress and adrenaline, and a cold-as-shit blizzard of a move-in day later, and I have officially been here for a month.Continue reading “Hello hello from the great white Midwest”

Happy New Year!

I braved the holiday season, I ate a million cookies, and I drank three-fourths of a giant bottle of Yellowtail Moscato on New Year’s. But I’m back! Lots of stuff on my plate for the new year.

The horror of my thesis reading list is no more, so I deleted that page, which I’m sure caused a deep sigh of relief somewhere in the universe (actually, no, it just came from me).Continue reading “New Stuff”

After yet another hiatus…

I’m beginning to think I’m just a terrible blogger and should give up. But never fear! My inane ramblings are here to stay! Here’s an update on everything that’s been going on in my life and writing. The semester is over. Finally. And so is grad school. That’s another post in itself, but suffice it toContinue reading “After yet another hiatus…”

NEAT. Issue 3!

Drum roll, please . . . TM Keesling and I just released our third issue of NEAT., the Midwestern literary journal we’ve been slaving over (in a good way). This winter issue is full of the three P’s: poetry, prose, and photography (but holy cow especially poetry). TM and I had an exchange this morningContinue reading “NEAT. Issue 3!”
