This issue of The Independent
Gay
Writer is the largest yet, and it came together rather quickly
toward
the end of the submissions process. Here's what's in store for you this
issue:
- The
authors of the new novel Out of Bounds submitted an article
about their experience with writing and getting their sports novel
published through Xlibris.
- A
new author contacted me about his book, The Hunt,
which has recently been published by 1st Books.
- A
publisher from England wrote to ask me for advice on how she might
better promote her gay titles here in the United States. As a result of
her query, I called upon some of the people who have been doing book
reviews for the newsletter to contact this publisher, and they did.
Tony Heyes reviews Paper Flowers, and we introduce Wayward Books, as a
publisher dedicated to gay fiction.
- Andrew
Barriger, who has become best known here for his Fairy Factoid
submitted a review for Alex Sanchez's Rainbow High—a sequel to
Rainbow Boys.
- William
Maltese (the prolific writer who has given us some interesting articles
in previous issues) reviews two books—The Acorn Stories and Common
Sons.
- Gary
Phillips reviews Rainbow Boys.
- Tony
Heyes, has submitted two reviews for this issue, one on the (in)famous
Richard Chamberlain and one of Wayward Books' titles.
- Jeremy
Laugan reviews Andrew Barriger's Finding Peace, as well as The
Boyfriend.
In
all, as I have indicated, quite a large and eclectic mix of articles
and book reviews.

Volume One,
Issue 13, will be published at the end of November 2003. Currently
taking submissions. We would like more real-life "coming out" essays,
from 300 - 500 words, along with a one-paragraph bio and a 300 dpi
digital photo in .jpeg format.
