Congratulations to Club Plum’s 2021 Best of the Net nominees! It looks like this year is the first year Sundress Publications has opened up a category for art, and I am thrilled they did so because our pages are full of wonderful visual offerings.
See last year’s Best of the Net winners and finalists in the fiction and poetry (and nonfiction) categories for inspiration and enjoyment (you might recognize a name or two).
Note that the publication window for eligibility is from 7/1/2020 – 6/30/21, so contributors who have published work in CP after that date may be selected for the 2022 contest.
Thank you for writing and reading!
Yours,
Thea

This is fabulous! I couldn’t listen to your interview but will try again. Been swamped and just applied to be an AWP mentee. After being a mentor for 40 years, hey, I love the idea of being a mentee at 70. Yes, I’m that old now!
Finally back working on the book about my house and its stories. Really cool and crazy stuff. My favorite line so far: “In Lincoln we knew that we were special.” That line takes me all over.
Hope you continue writing up a storm as you do! Hurrah! Congrats to Nilus! Wheee!
Smooches, J
