Everything's Free at the Corner Café This weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, you can download the short story anthology, The Corner Café, for free. If you wait until Monday, it'll cost 99 cents. Ninety-nine cents isn't much, so if you decide to wait, keep in mind you'll get some great stories, plus all royalties go to charity. The authors are touring all month long, but they're taking weekends off. I have two stories included in the anthology: Gila Monster and One Last Run. If you buy The Corner Cafe and like it, please post a review on Amazon. blacklilackitty | Writing and promoting books Call for Anthology Submissions - A Shaker of Margaritas: A Bad Hair Day Bad hair day? Don't fret. Write about it! Mozark Press has just announced a call for humorous fictionstories (no poetry or essays) for A Shaker of Margaritas: A Bad Hair Day. According to the publisher's e-mail announcement about the anthology, "a bad hair day is one of those days when things don’t go according to plan; in fact, it is as horrible as a bad perm or hair that turns green—unintentionally. Things go wrong, but with humor, stubbornness, and attitude—the female protagonist can survive any kind of bad hair day." Submissions deadline is July 15, 2012 Approximately 20-25 stories will be selected for the anthology. For submissions guidelines visit the "Bad Hair Day" page.

is a piece of editing software, which is either downloaded as a plug-in for Microsoft Word or as a separate piece of software to use with other wordprocessing packages. Sadly, it doesn't work with Apple computers. This is a fantastic piece of software I use all the time . It is like having your own personal copy-editor. It analyses your document and produces lists and graphics about your prose, including lists of words used to start sentences, repetitions of words and phrases, lists of grammatical and punctuation problems, lists of common miss used words in your document, data on sentence length, and much more. It costs $57 and $67 for three PCs, depending on which option you choose. There is also a ten-day free-trial, so you can try before you buy. In my opinion, it is worth every penny. by raviii Feb 9
