First, Torrey House Press, which recently sponsored a contest for nature-themed fiction focused on the Colorado Plateau, is sponsoring also a creative literary nonfiction contest. Torrey House calls for nonfiction that shows their judges “the power of the Colorado Plateau.” The deadline is May 21. Essays can be long, up to 10,000 words. Entry fee is $25. You can find out more here.
Also, Wm Morris, who helped me start Wilderness Interface Zone, has interviewed frequent contributor to WIZ Ãngel Chaparro Sainz over at WIZ’s sister site the Mormon Arts and Culture blog A Motley Vision. Ãngel recently completed a dissertation titled, “Contemporary Mormon Literature: Phyllis Barber’s Writing,” for which he received summa cum laude marks from University of the Basque Country (Universidad del PaÃs Vasco — Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea) in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Congratulations, Ãngel, for finishing the dissertation, for its garnering high marks, and for the intriguing interview. Seeing WIZ friends pop up in other places in print, on paper for in an electronic medium, is always delightful and cheering. Well done, Ãngel!
