The Weekly Atticus

This Week at Atticus Review

October 29, 2022

A recap of the week's writing at Atticus Review. Intro by Christopher Linforth.

We're very excited here at Atticus Review to open our flash fiction contest on November 1st (Tuesday!). We have a top prize of $1000 + publication and other cash prizes and chances for publication for finalists and entrants. Sara Lippmann is our contest judge. Flashes should be 1000 words or fewer. And you can enter as many times as you like. Just remember to keep your submission anonymous and to pay the fee ($15 for one flash, $20 for two). We cannot wait to see what you send us.

We're also still looking for poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and mixed media for our upcoming unthemed issue. Stay tuned to our Twitter and next week's newsletter for an upcoming free submissions day! Remember to take a look at our previous issues for the type of work we publish. In bonus news, during our current open call for submissions, our wonderful poetry editors are also looking for poems for a special poetry-only folio to be released in February (just submit in our usual poetry category).

On the Attic this week, Jacob Butlett reviews Wendy Drexler’s poetry collection Notes from the Column of Memory. We also have a post that goes into more detail about our flash fiction contest.

Remember we have a podcast now and you can always visit the Atticus Headquarters in Arizona. Stop by for a chat and pick up a book or record at Atticus Books & Music.

Until next time, thanks so much for reading.
