The Tattler...featuring Blogs! Submissions, please...



If you're like moi, you probably have very little time during the course of the day to cruise the Internet, and take a gander at popular new blogs that are revving up - and subsequently - piquing widespread interest out in the wilds of the blogosphere.

On the other hand, perhaps you're an talented insightful blogger with a lot to chirp about.

In spite of the fact you've been toiling away publishing those sizzling posts at the crack of dawn each day, nobody is nibbling at the smorgasbord of delectable goodies you've been tossing their way.

The musings - like zillions of others out there - are going virtually unread.

Meanwhile, the popular "with-it" blog trend-setters, are continuing to make their merry way into dizzying social circles in a big way.

Maybe it's time to pack it in?

Nope!

Now, you have a chance to enter the big leagues, and become a celebrated hit-getter like gossip maven Perez Hilton or the undisputed Queen of the "blogs" Arianna Huffington.

Yes, the Tattler is expanding its horizons, and reaching out into the blogosphere!

Our high-profile website is setting aside a little premium space (!) in order to showcase - and ultimately thrust into the spotlight - a handful of bloggers who deserve a kick-start and a few kudos along the way.

So, if you're a blogger pining for a little more exposure - and aching to be a much-celebrated "Featured Blog" at the Tattler - just zip off an e-mail off to us when you have a mind to.

Contact:

publisher@thetattler.biz

A simple link to your blog to facilitate a quick review of your creative renderings is satisfactory.

However, if you include a brief bio with a couple of insightful (and/or heartfelt) notes on your - hopes, dreams, and wishes - may trigger a profile piece alongside your blog site entry.

Good luck!

Austin Film Festival...call for entries! Screenplay, Teleplay & Film Competitions!



The Austin Film Festival has put out a call for creative artists to submit their work for screenplay, teleplay, and film competitions for the upcoming Festival slated for October 22 - 29th (2009).

The Austin Film Festival's mission is to further the art, craft, and business of screenwriting and filmmaking by providing unique year-round cultural events and services, enhancing public awareness and participation, and encouraging dynamic and long-lasting community partnerships.

Founded in 1994, the Austin Film Festival (AFF) was the first organization of its kind to focus on the writers’ creative contribution to film.

AFF originally consisted of the prestigious "Heart of Film" screenwriters conference (a forum for craft development, inspiration, and the networking and launching of careers created for screenwriters) which was historically under-represented.

AFF has since grown to serve filmmakers and all of Austin’s arts community.

Today, the festival encompasses a wealth of year-round programming dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the art and impact of storytelling.

Deadline Screenplay Competition: June 1st (2009)
Deadline Teleplay Competition: June 1st (2009)
Deadline Film Competition: July 3rd (2009)

Guideline Info: www.AustinFilmFestival.com

*The Austin Film Festival is a not for profit 501c3 corporation.

Art from Art...submit for Art Anthology! Modernist Press wants U!


Are you a writer?

Is your writing inspired by an artistic sensibility?

Then, Modernist Press wants you!

Stephen Soucy is an author who just published a book of short stores - titled - "Nine Hundred & Sixty-Nine" - which were written by a handful of gay writers based on tales set in West Hollywood.


The introduction was penned by author - Patricia Nell Warren - who conjured up the gay-themed book (The Front Runner) set in the high-profile world of athletes.

Now that "69" is successfully under his belt, Mr. Soucy is putting out a call for submissions for his next illustrious project.


The collection of fiction intends to focus on short stories that are connected directly to - or inspired by — a work of art.

"For example, the piece should be inspired by a song, a painting, a museum, an architectural monument, a blueprint, a piece of writing—a play, novel, poem, or letter," Mr. Soucy noted enthusiastically, when we crossed paths recently at the West Hollywood Book Fair.

The art in question needs to be a major component of the story - a character - within the fabric of the story.

The idea may be inspired by a day-to-day event or completely fabricated.

The editor notes that "ART from ART" hopes that the spotlight will be thrown on new and established voices by virtue of the publication.

Mr. Soucy - an outgoing pleasant young man - wholeheartedly believes that linking the stories through art will entice readers.

Because the art will be featured on a page either at the beginning or the end of each story (a visual correlative that will enhance the experience) those interested in submitting for the project are forewarned in advance to keep this in mind so they can meet all the criteria of the competition.

Stories may be submitted (deadline December 1st) with a brief bio via email to Stephen Soucy.

The publisher ask that writers follow submission guidelines.
