Updates from Tin House: "Tin House is now reading for the Fall, 2009 issue, which will have a theme of Hope/Fear. We are looking for fiction, poetry, and non-fiction that addresses the global tipping point - economically, culturally, and environmentally. What we are particularly interested in are personal visions, either optimistic or pessimistic. These can take on global concerns, but we are after singular voices. Please have your submission in by May 31 to be considered for this issue./We are also currently reading for our Winter 2010 issue, which is open (no theme). We recommend getting your submission in by September 30 to be considered for this issue; please also remember that we do not read unsolicited submissions between June 1 and August 31."
