The Latest from The Literary Type (TNQ's blog)
Another Mighty Small Mag: Bywords
Thanks to Amanda Earl for taking time out of (I imagine, thanks to the below!) an extraordinarily busy day to tell us all about Bywords.
What does a day at the Bywords look like?
Bywords.ca is a volunteer non profit organization with the volunteers working primarily on line from Australia, Toronto and Ottawa. There are a lot of different activities, so no day is typical. The selection committee votes monthly on the poems to be published on Bywords.ca and quarterly for the poems published in our printed poetry magazine, the Bywords Quarterly Journal (BQJ). [Pictured at left, courtesy of Justin Van Leeuwen] On a daily basis, I enter poems submitted for consideration, events and news items for the literary events calendar and the news section of the site.
TNQ is proud to announce The Nick Blatchford Occasional Verse Contest and
The Edna Staebler Personal Essay Contest!
