Word came to us about two of our recent contributors and how they're doing out there.
Pretty well I'd say.
Ryan Bartelmay's story, "All This Flatness," recently won the Boulevard Short Fiction Contest for Emerging Writers and appeared in the Spring 2006 issue of that journal.
And Joshua Ferris' debut novel, Then We Came to the End, published by Little, Brown & Co., is now in bookstores. If you can't get away from the computer for some reason, then you can find it here or here. Also, Mark Sarvas, contented defiler of prose and host of The Elegant Variation, has blogged about his own experience with the novel: how he briefly overcame his prejudice against MFA grads to discover his favorite book of the year. Visit his site for the story, and the first chapter of Ferris' novel, which Mark has nicely excerpted.
As for our other contributors, please send us hints and tips at phoebe@gmu.edu as to what you're up to, awards you've won, publications, etc. We'd be happy to brag for you. Simply write "blog" in the subject line.

Ah, ye Patriots!
Glad to have you joining us in the land of blogs. (I feel so old--I've had mine for a month.) Maybe someday we'll all be fired from presidential camapaigns for our inflammatory literary musings.
I'd say I hope you'll add my little blog thing (http://editwrite.wordpress.com) to your blogroll, but that would be like jumping in line. You don't have Wendi Kaufman's blog listed yet. She's over at The Happy Booker (thehappybooker.blogs.com).
Um, that's it. Keep writin' those pastiches for Alan. Say hey to the SUB1 couches for me. And my old coffee maker in the office.
