  RECAP: CALLS FOR SUBMISSION at Midtown Reader, Tallahassee, June 16, 2017

  Ann VanderMeer on CALLS FOR SUBMISSION

  So, this one is going to get a bit personal, so bare with me. I am very lucky to live in the same town as Ann VanderMeer.

  Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. on CALLS FOR SUBMISSION

  We’re in the final countdown! In a month, my debut collection CALLS FOR SUBMISSION will be out in the world doing whatever debut collections do (hopefully be read?). And I am doing all the things writers do to try to make that happen (witchy moon spells?). Seriously, though, so far, it has been going pretty good,…
