Tayari's Blog: NEW STUFF JUST ADDED

This is why I love Algonquin Books-- they heard through the grapevine about our fundariaser so they just donated a bundle of TEN (count 'em, 10!) works of contemporary southern fiction-- Lee Smith, Silas House, Larry Brown.. *everybody*! And, just to sweeten the deal, two volumes of New Stories From the South!

I have also decided to offer a short story critique in a addition to the manuscript crituque, for those of you who want to ease into this critique thing.

Natasha Trethewey just gave me (in my hand) a signed FIRST EDITION of her Pulitzer Prize winning collection Native Guard!

Also, prices have been dropped. And the paypal requirement has been removed from bidding!

check it out!

(This is supposed to go up last night, but I had technical issues.)

Did you notice how quiet the blog went when us "amatuer" writers were asked to put our asses on the line? It's one thing to write and write and a scary thing when asked to show it to someone.
