Place/Time deadline extended!

[rax]

A little while ago I posted about my most recent mad creative project, Place/Time, a literary journal based on focusing on a specific place and time and seeing what falls out. For our first issue, we're looking at Boston in 1997, and may be putting that in conversation with 1897, the turn of the previous century, after a longer submission that did a brilliant job of doing just that. We've pushed our submissions deadline back to December 1st; the stuff we've gotten is great but we're hoping to get a little more of it. Realistically, starting a journal out of nothing like this on a tight schedule, I don't expect to get inundated with submissions from friends, let alone strangers; but consider this a first reminder if I haven't gotten around to emailing you yet, and an invitation to drop me a line if you've got an idea in your head, whether it be something you'd like to produce or otherwise. We'd love to read some more fiction, especially, but we're also interested in book reviews of books that either were written then or deal with that time. (I've had someone recommend Zodiac, recently, as a book that would be particularly good for this.) So if this sounds exciting to you, drop me a comment or an email! (rachel@akrasiac.org) I'd love to hear from you, and I look forward to presenting issue 1 of Place/Time to all of you and to the world at the end of December.

...And then going to sleep for, like, a week. :P

Hey, if you want to write something or have written something about 1897, I'd love to see it. :) Maybe it's that one of them is something that your readership will know if you get even slightly wrong, and the other isn't? Unless your readership is a pack of historians. (What's the group-name for historians?)
