let’s talk about us

Uncategorized

Hi everyone!  A commenter, Leigh, suggested that we post bios about ourselves.  It’s only fair; you are submitting your work to us, you should get to know something about whom you put your faith in.  Our bios are up on the About page.

On a related note, WordPress was acting up terribly when I posted the bios; the text in the editing window would look fine, but then I’d publish the draft and end up with half the text italicized, the paragraphs smushed together, or lines broken in random spots.  At one point, particularly frustrated, I wagged at finger at my laptop screen and said, “Look here, WordPress, this is NOT A PROSE POEM.”   (But I digress.)  My sincere apologies to any site subscribers bombarded with email notifications that I updated the Broad! blog.

Margaret Atwood is the best

Lit, News

To everyone who found this site via Twitter and the wonderful, amazing Margaret Atwood — hello there!  I am pleased to meet you and look forward to reading your work!

Submission guidelines are at the top right tab, and deadline’s October 1.

(…I can’t believe she retweeted my call for submissions.  Golly.  I, uh, I need to sit down.)

Feels like being picked first in gym

News

Broad! has been featured on Autostraddle!  Senior Editor Rachel, a good friend of mine (and an awesome friend, in general; you should try being friends with her), chose to promote us for her Autostraddle Team Pick yesterday.  Thank you, Rachel!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Autostraddle, it’s a smart, funny, strong Internet magazine that covers news and pop culture as it relates to LGBTQ issues.  “News, entertainment, opinion and girl-on-girl culture,” in their words.  I recommend it heartily.

To all of you visiting this blog from Autostraddle, welcome and please submit!*  The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2011.

 

*Everyone not visiting from Autostraddle is, of course, also welcomed and markedly encouraged to submit!
