Published twice this week.
Hi Mari,
I'd like to run your charming story in FLURB. Could you please send me a version of it in the Word DOC or the RTF format?
Thanks,
Rudy
No idea of when it will be up. Here is the link: http://www.flurb.net/
So I went to the site and checked it out. It is very nice looking. It turns out that the editor has taught at Clarion West. Clarion West only takes 18 students a year. The classes last 30 days and you live on site. What is really cool is that all of the teachers make their living from writing, SF, fantasty and horror and have won awards.
Plus it is a quarterly magazine, which makes it harder to get into.
He said my story was charming.
About the editor:
Rudolf von Bitter Rucker (born March 22, 1946 in Louisville, Kentucky) is an American mathematician, computer scientist and science fiction author, and is one of the founders of the cyberpunk literary movement. The author of both fiction and non-fiction, he is best known for the novels in the Ware Tetralogy, the first two of which (Software and Wetware) both won Philip K. Dick Awards.
About the magazine:
Flurb is a science fiction webzine, edited by noted science fiction author Rudy Rucker. In addition to short stories, Flurb features paintings and photography by Rucker. It is released twice a year, the seventh and most recent edition going live on March 7, 2009. Flurb's model is notable in that the author of an accepted story retains full copyright, including the right to have the story published elsewhere, and to request that it be taken down at any time.
Flurb releases tend to garner significant online attention, with issues having been mentioned in several prominent blogs including Boing Boing[1] and io9[2].
Noted contributors to Flurb have included Terry Bisson, John Kessel, Kim Stanley Robinson, Paul Di Filippo, Charles Stross and Cory Doctorow, as well as Rucker himself.
