Over on The Missouri Review's blog, associate editor Evelyn Somers writes: "While we have stacks of submissions waiting to be read, we're once again short in the interview department. If you have an unpublished interview with an established author, please query me...." She adds: "We're also looking for good, sharp essays that deal with current trends in literature to complement our recently revamped book review feature. No scholarship please--but smart essays that take on literary issues or controversies are very welcome." Read the full post here.

The latest Mid-American Review newsletter arrived in my e-mailbox last week, reminding me "we do read work all through the year, and in general we're actually faster in the summer. So feel free to send your poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, translations, and reviews...." Visit the journal's Web site here.

"Lake Forest College, in conjunction with the &NOW Festival, invites applications for an emerging poet under forty years old, with no major book publication to spend two months (February-March or March-April 2009) in residence at our campus in Chicago's northern suburbs on the shore of Lake Michigan. There are no formal teaching duties attached to the residency. Time is to be spent completing a manuscript, participating in the Lake Forest Literary Festival, and offering two public presentations. The completed manuscript will be published (upon approval) by the new Lake Forest College Press &NOW Books imprint. The stipend is $10,000, with a housing suite and campus meals provided by the college." Hurry if you're interested in this one: manuscript review will begin on May 15. See the announcement here for application instructions.
