Ugly Duckling Presse 106 Ferris Street, Second Floor Brooklyn, New York, NY 11231 http://www.uglyducklingpresse.org/ "Ugly Duckling Presse is a nonprofit art & publishing collective producing small to mid-size editions of new poetry, translations, lost works, and artist's books. The Presse favors emerging, international, and "forgotten" writers with well-defined formal or conceptual projects that are difficult to place at other presses. Its full-length books, chapbooks, artist's books, broadsides, magazine and newspaper all contain handmade elements, calling attention to the labor and history of bookmaking. " New Directions Publishing Corp. 80 Eighth Avenue New York, NY 10010 USA http://www.ndpublishing.com/home.html New Directions was founded in 1936, when James Laughlin (1914 - 1997), then a twenty-two-year-old Harvard sophomore, issued the first of the New Directions anthologies. “I asked Ezra Pound for career advice,” James Laughlin recalled. “He had been seeing my poems for months and had ruled them hopeless. He urged me to finish Harvard and then do 'something' useful.” Intended as a place where experimentalists could test their inventions by publication, the ND anthologies first introduced readers to the early work of such writers as William Saroyan, Louis Zukofsky, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Kay Boyle, Delmore Schwartz, Dylan Thomas, Thomas Merton, John Hawkes, Denise Levertov, James Agee, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Soon after issuing the first of the anthologies, New Directions began publishing novels, plays, and collections of poems. Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, who once had difficulty finding publishers, were early New Directions authors and have remained at the core of ND's backlist of modernist writers. And Tennessee Williams first appeared as a poet in the early Five Young American Poets. Northern Woodlands Magazine Seeks Submissions Our audience consists of conservation-minded people with an interest in all aspects of the forests of the Northeast. We are not a trade magazine for the forest products industry or an advocacy magazine for preservationists. Write to us with a story idea that fits our audience. We like to surprise our readers with stories they won't find anywhere else. Or, submit a short piece for Knots and Bolts (200-600 words). We cover a wide range of short subjects in that section and it's the best bet for new writers breaking in. Either way, send along some clips or other writing samples. LAKE SUPERIOR MAGAZINE http://www.lakesuperior.com/editorial/editguidelines.html The magazine about the world's largest fresh-water lake and the people who list and visit there. We may pay up to $600, according to length, importance of story and writer's experience. Top dollar is earned by a well-written and researched manuscript-photo package. The average feature runs 1,600 to 2,200 words. Departments and Columns average 900 to 1,400 words and usually pay from $65 to $125.
