What's Coming

a message from Joyce Dixon

Southern Scribe was created in December 1999.  In a short period, the monthly zine has grown for the original 900 readers to an average of 35,000 readers each month (the high month was October 2001 with over 39,000).  With this issue, Southern Scribe adds a search engine for the site (at the bottom of this page).  In January 2002, Southern Scribe Reading Circles will form for fiction, memoirs, women's fiction, mysteries, and history.

I want to offer a sincere thank you to all of you for helping Southern Scribe grow as we continue to promote southern regional writing.  As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.  Please share your thoughts on the feedback form.

I think that getting published is not hard.  Writing something that is publishable is a lot harder.  There are not very many great novels out there in the bottoms of people’s desk drawers.   I think that publishers and agents alike are looking all the time for a new challenge—people who write well and their stories.  So, I believe that the effort that should be made is to do good work.  You do that in order to be published.
