The Masthead is "where the writers are" in the Missoula area. This publication is designed to offer a much-needed resource, haven, and stage for the writers of our great mountain town. Missoulians always seem to be saying, "There sure are a lot of writers in this town,"—and they're not wrong—but being one of the thousands of English program graduates who stayed in my college town, I often find myself asking, "Where are they? How do I find all these writers in Missoula? How do I get in touch with my people: worshippers of Shakespeare, torch- bearers of Ginsberg, brooding Bloomsday sojourners?" Read more...
. . . and The Masthead is seeking submissions for its fall issue. From The Masthead staff:
Due to a low volume of submissions for the fall issue, The Masthead, Missoula's Writers' Magazine, is accepting submissions until November 11. We need poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, rants, writing tips, photographs and artwork to print in our fourth (already!) issue, due out in late November.
To submit, either email us at mastheadmsla AT hotmail DOT com, or mail to The Masthead, P.O. Box, 17883, Missoula, MT, 59808.
No submissions over 6,000 words, please. Email submissions are preferred, but paper is accepted. In either format, please supply a mailing address for receiving your contributor's copy, should your work be accepted. If sending attachments or paper, please include your name on every page. Visual art will be rendered in black and white.
They tell me that they do accept reprints, with no restrictions on what medium it was published in before. As long as you have the rights to have the piece published again, that's fine. Humor is always good, because so many people only write things that are serious. But really, we just want good writing.
They also do not give preference to local or Montana writers. This means that those of us who publish on our own websites, wherever we live, are welcome to submit. And I'm not very funny, but many of you are -- so go for it.

Looks like a great opportunity
