The Georgia Review invites submissions for a planned special feature, a 21st-century update of Ambrose Bierce's satirical Devil's Dictionary, published about 100 years ago. "Taking Bierce as a model, all writers are invited to send one or two original dictionary entries - maximum length, 200 words each - for publication consideration; those writers who include with their submission a paid order for a new, renewed, or gift subscription to The Georgia Review ($30) may send up to six dictionary entries. All entries will be considered for publication in our pages and/or on our Web site. All accepted authors will receive an honorarium and also will be eligible to receive 'The Devil's Due' in the amount of $500 for first place, $150 for second, and $100 for third."

One Story wants everyone to know that it supports new writers. From a recent e-mail: "At One Story, we are committed to discovering new talent and showcasing original voices. For this reason, One Story will never publish an author more than once. We are proud to say that 10% of our writers are published for the first time in our pages." Further, its current issue "marks the launch of our 'Introducing New Writers' series. 'Hurt People'[the latest story] will arrive in a custom envelope, marking it as a fiction debut and inviting subscribers to congratulate the author on our blog. We will host a reading in Lawrence, Kansas--where Cote Smith [the story's author] is finishing his MFA in fiction writing--in May. As part of this series, we will be hosting hometown readings for writers who publish for the first time in One Story in 2009. This is made possible by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts." One Story is a paying journal; submissions close for the season May 31.
