From interstellar literary clouds comes The Commanauts, a community of writers aiming to defy gravity. A space race in literature founded by author Nick Belardes, you'll explore nonfiction, fiction, and in our Student Works section, you'll discover writings from colleges and universities across America who don't have on-campus zines or print anthologies. And that's not all. Writings will be collected and published once a year in book or magazine form. That's our Space Program at work. More info coming soon. At The Commanauts you'll also find a portal to the Random Writers Workshop. Founded in 2009, this writing workshop is now a collaborative effort from Nick Belardes, Hectic Films, Russo's Books and the CSU Bakersfield OLLI Program. You'll also find a portal to an online CSUB Olli Program Photo Exhibit.

The Aurorean has been featured in Poet?s Market and several-times recommended as a ?Pick? by the prestigious Small Press Review, most recently for its 10th Anniversary Issue (Fall/Winter 2010?2011). SPR has said of the Aurorean: ?a journal that has both high production values and quality poetry ... perfect to elevate you from the dark night of the soul.? In January of 2011, NewPages reviewer Sima Rabinowitz said of our 15th Anniversary Issue: "This little journal will fill you up." Our focus is always poetry of New England, and poetry of the seasons (including haiku) although we are open to other subjects as well. In a world full of angst, we publish poetry that uplifts, inspires, and is meditational, but is not religious or denominational, as we are ever mindful of diversity.

The editors of the literary e-zine LEFT HAND WAVING are happy to announce a radical change in their submission guidelines. From now until further notice, we will be accepting poems and creative nonfiction dealing with the hard times, economic and political, that many in the United States and elsewhere are enduring. We see this as our small contribution to the Occupy Wall Street movement. We call it Occupy Poetry (and Other Writing). Submissions must be made through the portal to Submishmash found on our Web site, https://sites.google.com/site/lefthandwaving. Submissions received in any other manner or format will be discarded. Poems should be no more than 20 lines and creative nonfiction no more than 500 words. The editors hope to be surprised by your writing. They place a premium on freshness of language and perspective. They have little patience for the pedantic, dogmatic, or sophomoric. Submissions open Nov. 1, 2011, and continue through Dec. 1 We look forward to reading your work. Really.

Solecisms is an online literary magazine with the goal of showcasing the work of writers, regardless of whether their work conforms to certain standards. We hope to grow a community here through our love of creativity, one that will hopefully produce fruitful works of both literature and other mediums. We are a group of individuals who love writing, but find that many of the literary publications out there are more concerned with convention than creativity. In order to remedy this, we banded together to offer a more open sort of literary magazine.

Laptop Lit Mag is a place for young readers and writers to share their love of words from their laptops. We are a one of a kind generational publication, meaning we feature work written by people of the Millennials Generation for people of the Millennials Generation. Our authors are the up and coming writers of tomorrow, writing about what is important to them now. Their writing, from contemporary lit to fantasy, exemplifies what it means to be a part of the twenty-first century.
