A picture of the book Submarines by Mike Andrelczyk, which features a very pleasing painting of a yellow schoolbus on a green field below a red sky.

Hi! I wanted to mention The Barre Incidents could really use some online ratings/reviews if you’ve read it and have an account you post reviews on. Every little bit helps, I think!

This is one hell of a way to solicit my business. (It's working.)
Screenshot from the web store page (store webpage? online web store?) for The Grift: Volume 2. The description reads as follows:

The Grift, the greatest and most important literary magazine in history, is back, this time with work from Jacquelyn Bengfort, Zachary Kocanda, Christopher Stevenson, Neil Willcox , Dereck Heckman, Craig Rodgers, Ivy Grimes, Xavier Garcia, Jay Parr, Samuel Day Wharton, and Justin Carter.

The Grift is a PDF-only litmag with a very specific mission: to for God’s sake bring in a little extra money for this money-hemorrhaging small press. We thank you for your patronage!
