Tyler Gobble is stoked about something. He shouts around the web, like at his blog, like as a contributor at Vouched Online, like in his Smalldoggies Magazine column. He also helps out with The Collagist. Send him a message: no one likes to be stoked alone.
Layne Ransom remembers the Titans. She is currently a poetry editor for The Broken Plate and once ran over a felled tree with a ’97 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Her things have been spotted in decomP, vis a tergo, amphibi.us, and other places. You look nice today.
Things were hard at the horse farm/nuclear power plant, for Jeremy Bauer. His mother eventually had five arms, not out of mutation from all substandard conditions, but out of necessity. His father fused with three horses, and though he held the glory of being the first tricentaur in existence, he was in a great deal of pain all 107 years of his black-maned life. The cloud of Jeremy Bauer worked to help support his melting family and eventually made it to Ball State University, where he studied creative writing. He has published poetry and nonfiction in The Broken Plate and his molecules blog at ohbabyohman.blogspot.com. The family smiles often.
Elysia Smith is the lead fiction editor for The Broken Plate. Her work has recently appeared in elimae. She has traveled many places in her life but few have affected her as much as the city of New Orleans. She loves tattoos, cats, and boys who wear hats well.
You guys did it! I'm so excited for you, you better blog about it so we can all see how it goes!! x
I decided to find a project to put over the top. Yours is right in line with my interests as a writer. Good luck and have a great trip!
Thank you for your support Joshua. I've tried to find an estimate. The best I can come up with is probably 7 or 8 bucks, since they'll have the broadsides too. If it ends up being cheaper than that, I'll figure out something to get you a refund. Cool?
Also another question I should've put in here before; I live in Australia but I appreciate what's going on here. What would I have to add for international postage for say the $25 pledge?
Yes, of course. A broadside is a limited-edition literary publication, typically unfolded and featuring a single piece of work. It's a more artistic presentation of a poem/story. They can vary in size and style.
Might I ask what a "broadside" is?
