From the latest eBlast from Barb Shoup at
the Indiana Writers Center:
"Flying Island," the Writers
Center's literary magazine was founded in the 1980's by director Jim Powell,
and provided a publishing opportunity for Indiana writers well into the 1990's.
It was always fun to see who in our writing community would be represented in
the magazine. If I'm remembering correctly, there were some pretty groovy
launch parties at the Alley Cat in Broad Ripple, which was the scene for many
readings in those days.
It morphed into "Maize" for a
while. Then David Hassler revived it a while back and did several broadsheet
editions. It was great to see the magazine back in print and to read the works
of IWC members and friends, but...print is expensive. We just couldn't keep it
going.
Enter online magazines, factor in David
Hassler's determination to make "Flying Island" work one way or
another, thank those who contributed to our power2give project, "Where's
the Next Kurt Vonnegut" and, shazaam, it's back.
We're excited to announce the launch of the
online version of "Flying Island," which is now accepting submissions
on a rolling basis from residents of Indiana and those with significant ties to
Indiana. Editors David Hassler (fiction), Julianna Thibodeaux (nonfiction) and
JL Kato (poetry) are waiting to hear from you!
Fiction: up to 1,000 words
Nonfiction: up to 1,000 words
Poetry: up to three poems, no more than 30
lines each.
Check it out—and please submit your words—at:
The link is also on
the left under “Check out These Great Links.”
By the way, "Flying Islands of the Night" is the title of an obscure poem/play by the Hoosier Poet, James Whitcomb Riley, of course.
