Dear Writers and Friends,
Rusty Wheels Media will be releasing the second of the Worked Stiff Series “Short-stories to Tell Your Boss” in the next month or so. For those of you who read the poetry book “Worked Stiff: Poetry and Prose for the Common“, this second and third will not be the same.
I am interested in alternating between the short-story/short/novelette collections and poetry books for the Worked Stiff Series from now until I die.
The first poetry book focused on the plight of modern man, blue collar troubles, and political common sense. While I am happy that this was the first in the series, themed-based books are going to be the norm.
The second, due out soon, is a short story collection that focuses on the working class and the fictional world in which they live. Some of those stories I posted on my blog as an experiment.
The third Worked Stiff: Back to the Land, we are calling for submissions here: This will focus on nature. Of course, anything loosely involving nature: working the land, camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, quiet moments in the forest…you get the idea. RWM will consider unpublished poems, short-stories, essays, etc.
As with Letters Never Meant to be Read, RWM believes in profit sharing with percentages based on poems/works that make it into the book. Some of you who are receiving your first royalty checks in the mail now from the Letters Project are not retiring to the Bahamas just yet, but it’s a start.
I will of course be taking letters as well and would like to put out the second in May/June. Some of you have already submitted new letters which is encouraging.
Send your poems and letters to:
rustywheelsmedia@gmail.com
or
Rusty Wheels Media, LLC
PO Box 1692
Rome, GA 30162
I look forward to your submissions and I will show you mine one way or another.
-Marc

So are entries still open for this? I take it any entries must not have been published anywhere else, including personal blogs?

Entries can be published in personal blogs, just not in another anthology unless it is your own (You own the rights).
Personal blogs are more akin to advertising or workshops in our mind.
Letters are even more open to interpretation but have to be in letter form. Yes, that is it. We don’t like rules so we are going to stop typing now before any new red tape is added or barriers placed in front of good art and viable submissions.
