I'm really looking forward to the completed dark fairy tale and zombie haiku manuscripts. The ones that I've seen so far are all killer poems including "Rumplestiltskin" (from the latest issue of Illumen that just came in the mail).

hey Josh --

I've had good luck selling zombie haiku to Tales of the Talisman and Star*Line... might want to give them a shot.

both of those manuscripts sound cool!

[hooks_and_books]

Oooh...good call. I didn't think about TotT. Star*Line is on my list--just waiting for them to open up again! ;-)

[hooks_and_books]

Looks like I'll be waiting for Tales of the Talisman to open to! ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion, though. I'll certainly be sending them something come July!

wow, didn't realize they were both closed now!

Everydaypoets.com has also published one of my zombie ku... you might want to try them, as well as Twisted Tongue Magazine. (not sure if they're open right now)

how's the zombie haiku manuscript coming along? you know i'll buy a copy. if you're still looking for publishers you might want to try Spec House of Poetry -- they published my chapbook of horror poems and Charles Gramlich's chapbook of vampire haiku.

It's getting there. I'll post an update soon.
