Adam Pachter, editor of the popular Fenway Fiction and Further Fenway Fiction anthologies (see http://rounderbooks.com for more information), is currently seeking submissions for a planned third volume. Submissions can be short stories, plays, novel excerpts, or poetry in virtually any genre. There are only two requirements: 1) submissions must be fiction and 2) they must in some way involve or relate to the Boston Red Sox. Contributors to the current volume include Steve Almond, Rachel Solar, and David Kruh. All those whose submissions appear in a future Fenway Fiction will receive a share of book royalties as payment. Submit via e-mail to adampachter(at)yahoo(dot)com. Unpublished work preferred. Deadline: April 1, 2008.

As a past winner of the David Dornstein Memorial Creative Writing Contest, I always try to keep others informed of the annual deadline (typically December 31). When I couldn't locate updated information this year, I contacted the administering organization, the Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE). A staff member e-mailed a response explaining that the contest will not run this year: "We hope to resume it next year."
