Writers--Head's Up!

New anthology in the worksFrom Press 53

What Doesn’t Kill You… a new anthology coming from Press 53 in Spring 2010 is looking for stories of struggle—real or imagined, physical or mental. Contributors will receive a complimentary copy of the anthology plus the opportunity to buy unlimited copies at 50% off retail. Contributors will also have one page in the back of the anthology for his or her bio, photo, and story comments. We’re looking for eight stories to run alongside the seven we have already requested from some of today’s top award-winning writers. Stories can be fiction or nonfiction, from 1,000-10,000 words. Previously published works are acceptable, so long as the author holds all rights and no previous publication agreement is violated. Submissions will be accepted until the New Year rings in at midnight December 31, 2009.

Send all submissions via email attachment to co-editor Murray Dunlap at murraydunlap@gmail.com. Direct all questions to co-editor and Press 53 publisher Kevin Morgan Watson at kevin@press53.com.

Attention: Aspiring Talent

Dear Mentorees and Aspiring Talent, our Creative Director received an email which we are posting here for your encouragement. Take heart! Never give up.

"Yesterday my Samford alumni magazine arrived. It had within it an article about a Samford alumnus, Mark Willard. He has just created music, scored for the film FIREPROOF, a production of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany,GA. FIREPROOF is Sherwood's 3rd release, following FLYWHEEL and FACING THE GIANTS. The church produced all 3 films using talent primarily from the church and the community.
Willard is a 1997 Samford music graduate. He is worship pastor at Sherwood. He wrote the musical score for each of the movies. It has been a dream of his since high school to write movie scores. He is quoted as saying, "If God puts a dream in your heart and a vision to accomplish it, and it's not a selfish desire, He will fulfill it if you are faithful, pray it through and faithfully give Him your talents."
Interesting!"
