12 September 2008-- TheCoatlism Full Length Book Prizeis really not a chapbook contest but a book contest. The name is a bit confusing. The winning book(s) will be very nice perfect-bound books. We just say chapbook because we aren't a big publishing house with much money. Still, our books look great when published, so the word chapbook should really be deleted.

Also, please note that chapbook submissions (not contest submissions) submitted to Coatlism are still being read and new ones are welcome. Full length stuff should be entered into the prize.

6 September 2008 --Please see theBulletin Boardfor new opportunities at litchaos.com. Right now, guest editors in poetry and fiction are requested.

5 September 2008-- Two cool things to report. Go to google and type in "experimental fiction prize" or "experimental chapbook" and you will see litchaos.com come up #1 in the rankings. Experimental literature has crowned a new representative. Lit Chaos is the web's pre-eminent experimental writing site. Thanks for helping us all climb up the rankings. Very few people know how they rank that stuff, but it's nice to have climbed up at least one list. This means a lot more exposure for the site and for all the poetry and fiction on the site.

One more thing to keep in mind. Lit Chaos now has its videos onrevver.comas well as youtube.com. We find that the quality onrevver.comis more crisp. Just type in "litchaos" to get all our uploads. Also, add "litkos" as a friend.
