Monday Morning Markets/Jobs/Opportunities

Attention, New Hampshire writers! You have until April 9 to apply for a Literary Arts Fellowship from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. Up to two awards of $5,000 each will be conferred. There's no entry fee. Details here.

I recently revisited the Jerseyworks site to discover an update. While the Jerseyworks contest seems to be no more, the editors are now paying on acceptance for content: "$10 minimum for short verse such as haiku, 20c/wd after 50 wds, $50 max per poem." The editors "are open to poetry or other forms that express/investigate the unique nature of New Jersey and that create a picture of our state for those not lucky enough to pay taxes here. We also want to filter a vision of the world through the consciousness of Jerseyworks. We seek poets everywhere. We will publish in translation and sometimes in original languages. We're looking for great poetry, and in that process we hope to be part of bringing people together."

New literary agent David Patterson (Foundry Literary + Media) "is looking especially for the most prominent and talented journalists, scholars, and personalities in a wide variety of fields, with either outstanding narratives and/or idea-driven works of nonfiction, which can be deeply serious or terrifically entertaining, and often combine those two qualities. David will also represent fiction when he feels strongly that the author has a distinctive voice that can break out of the pack."
