We are currently accepting submissions in poetry, criticism, nonfiction, and fiction. Our submission deadline is September 30, 2008, and rapidly approaches--so go on now, dig through those teetering stacks of your finest writing and send them our way.<br> <br>You can find submission guidelines, along with archives of our past issues, at www. <a href="http://hotmetalbridge.org">hotmetalbridge.org</a>. We are a young journal, still growing out of our little knee-length knickerbockers, but we have featured some pretty outstanding new and established writers. Past issues have included the likes of Tom Perrotta, Dan Chaon, Kevin Moffett, Stewart O'Nan, Brian Evenson, Roy Kesey, Lynne Potts, Richard Sikken, and Simone Poirier-Bures AND STEPHANIE HAMMER! </font><font style="font-family: georgia,serif;" size="2" face="georgia,serif"> <br><br>We hope to read your work soon. </font><font style="font-family: georgia,serif;" size="2">We are hungry for your creative genius. We are also hungry, sometimes, for Swedish fish and tropical flavored Skittles, but your writing is better for our general health.<br> <br>With much appreciation and high hopes,<br><br>Ashleigh and Kelly<br><br><br>-- <br>Kelly Ramsey and Ashleigh Pedersen<br>Editors-in-Chief<br>Hot Metal Bridge*<br><br><br><br>*will not affect your throat<br></font> </div></blockquote><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><b><i>D Charles Whitney, Professor and Chair</i></b></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">Department of Creative Writing, 4119 INTS</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">U of California, Riverside CA 92521</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">951.827.6076 FAX 951.827.3619</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br></span></font></div></span></i></b></span></font></div></div></div><br></body></html>
