Sherry Chandler » The Jane Gentry Vance Award

The Jane Gentry Vance Award

Jar, the literary publication of the University of Kentucky Honors Program, is expanding. From their web page:

We have spent thirty years publishing the best work from upcoming young writers in Lexington, Kentucky.

This year, we’re thinking bigger.

The 2007 issue of Jar is our first-ever statewide issue. We know there is a large breadth of talent across our state, and we want to publish it. Kentucky has a long history of great writers; Jar wants to foster the next generation.

As part of that expansion, the Jar has announced the first annual Jane Gentry Vance Award in fiction and in poetry to be judged by Silas House and Maurice Manning.

For more information and an application form, visit the website.

Deadline is February 1. No entry fee that I can find.

Regular submission guidelines here.

    I may have to give this one a shot. I’ve a couple of manusripts that need published.

    Hello.

    I am James. I live in Bedford, Kentucky.
    I write far more than I submit my work. But I’ve managed to be published several times, and have started a magazine of my own. We are in our second issue of Flowers & Vortexes, Creative Magazine, which is accepting submissions of poetry and prose.

    It’s a pleasure to know of you.

    ~ James
