The Scriptorium is currently seeking a section editor to look after our Young Writer's department, Scriptorium Scribbles. The position would require about an hour's work each month. This is a volunteer position.

We're also looking for articles suitable for this department. This is a popular section of our webzine and a great way to promote your website, books or resources to the next generation of writers.

Submissions and inquiries may be made to: Sherry Ramsey, Editor/Publisher, at sherry@thescriptorium.net


Free Fall Call for Submissions
Submitted by: Jimmetta Carpenter
Editor, Free Fall
http://www.freefalllit.com

Free Fall is looking for writers to make submissions of poetry and short stories of all genres as well as articles on various topics, personal essays, and reviews of books on or about writing. Free Fall is a non-paying market and your only compensation for your published work will be the promotion and exposure of your work and you as a writer. The target readers for Free Fall are writers, readers, editors, and agents and our goal is to be a stepping stone for those beginner writers who are still on the back burner and to get your writing out there to be seen.

Free Fall is now entering its second year and is expanding to include more work and cover more areas of people's artistic abilities. If you are interested in joining the world of Free Fall and submitting your work to us then please feel free to e-mail your submissions and/or inquiries to freefall_lbp@yahoo.com We look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best in all of your writing ventures.
