I'm a regular reader over at Fried Chicken and Coffee. While I don't live in Appalachia, the way of life in that area parallels life here in my corner of PA, and the type of stories I'm struggling to write. Today, there was a post http://friedchickenandcoffee.com/2010/02/17/bottom-dog-presss-appalachian-working-class-fiction/ about a call for submissions for an anthology to published by Bottom Dog Press.
From Hill to Holler http://fromhilltoholler.blogspot.com/2010/01/call-for-submissions.html is looking for short stories about contemporary Appalachian working class fiction. The deadline is July 1 for stories of 3000 to 6000 words. Payment is $50 plus two copies of the anthology.
If you're considering submitting be sure to read the post over at Fried Chicken and Coffee for details of the type of writing and the kinds of stories that make up this genre. And it is a genre all its own.
