a very sad day in the lit world

Some of you may have read InkPot, one of the most beautiful literary magazines available over the last few years. If you're like me, maybe your work appeared in its pages. And again, if you're like me, receiving that acceptance letters was one of the greatest thrills of your writing career.

Alas, InkPot is closing its doors after its final October issue. And they could use some help getting that final issue out. Levenger has, alas, decided to discontinue its sponsorship of InkPot. There are other reasons why Bev Jackson has decided to discontinue the magazine, but this is certainly a very large one. If you can help out in any way, I encourage you to do so. For donations above $25.00, Bev is offering copies of previous publications (which also include some novels).

Please take a moment to read her most recent letter. And do your bit to help out if you can.
