Pindeldyboz online
I discovered this morning that it is nice to wake up to an e-mailbox with only one message, which reads, in its entirety, the following:
Dear Joseph,
Thank you for submitting to Pindeldyboz. There is something about "What the Mutuals Don't Know" that grabbed me and stayed with me-perhaps the very specific details about the onion soup, the toenail clippings, the snow-and that set up a solid portrait of a relationship in just a few paragraphs. I'd like to publish it in Pindeldyboz, if it's still available.
Is the bio you submitted with the piece the one you would like to use?
Thanks again for submitting, and warm regards,
Nora Fussner, Web Editor
Pindeldyboz
That's right -- Pindeldyboz.
For those of you who do not know, Pindeldyboz is a hugely popular online literary journal and has been for years. Stories published there have gone on to win the Best American Fantasy award and have been included in those Best American Non-Required Reading anthologies. They've also won something called the Million Writer's Award. Their website is hardly the most beautiful around, but it is more than functional and contains plenty of quality. Visit the homepage for the current issue; visit the archives for a seriously large list of good (short-)short stories.
According to follow-up emails, we can expect "What the Mutuals Don't Know" to be up by the end of March.
