Title: Writing Info/Authors

I've hit a few hurdles trying to locate publishers, magazines or contests where I can submit short stories or articles.

In the last year I've collected a few web sites that post writing info. I'm posting these here on the blog and would kindly request that someone look these up? Please send me a print out of the:

* Submission requirements
* Contest info
* Contact info
* Mailing address
* Deadlines
* Submission fees (if any)

2) www.baltimorereview.org "The Baltimore Review Fiction Contest"
3) scriptmag.org

Thank you for taking the time, paper and postage to help me in my writing goals. The "guidelines" are really important. All of the publishers, magazines and contests have very specific rules. They insist on following their requirements to the letter. Reminds me of all this court paperwork I'm doing.

MY ADDRESS if you need it:

William D. Linley
ID No. M08788
Graham Correctional Center
P.O. Box 499
Hillsboro, Illinois 62049

I would be so grateful just to receive 2 or 3 out of this list of 20.

Thanks again,

David

Has anyone looked these up for you yet? I would be glad to but I don't want to double what has already been done.

David,

First let me start by saying that I apologize that I have not been my brother’s keeper as well as I should have been. I have been very busy with the family and work and as of late we are looking at relocating to Jacksonville, North Carolina late next year. It is not a move for the job, but one my wife and I wanted and is looking to retire in that area.


I hope my letter does some good with the courts, I know it can be difficult to get them to move from the norm and look at the situation outside of the box and realize what you are going through and have been through. While I think it should be clear that all veterans should be given special weight when going to court, many do not distinguish or gather the difference.


I am extremely happy to see that your case is finally getting the attention it needs I hope that the outcome will be the one that you are looking for. I know this is difficult on your family and with the economy not producing the jobs that are needed it makes it difficult for others to come up with money for situations like this. I will try to do more to help out as much as possible but I am limited with what can be done.


I am still hopeful that I can get a visit in this year on one of my weekends off or a return trip from Tennessee. It would be nice to see a friend and brother. There was a reunion this year in Washington D.C. I was told that there were a good number of marines that showed up for the trip. I was not able to make the trip however they are planning another later and they are looking at Jacksonville N.C. for the location. I visited Eric Quintero and family last month while looking at property in Jacksonville N.C.

Take care and hopefully it does not take as long for me to write next time. Semper Fi!!!
