As we move forward with merging WEGO, EGO and LAC to form the Graduate Literary Organization (GLO), we have selected two amazing co-coordinators who will lead GLO next year: Amber Beaman from the writing program and Jennifer Davis from the English program. Amber will be a second-year fiction student in the fall and has been involved with WEGO, the WIC (Writing Intensive Course) assistant program and the Writing Center. Jennifer will also be a second-year student and served on EGO's general committee this year. They both have great ideas for building a stronger literary community and planning events that are of interest to both writing and English students.
The coordinators will take the reigns in the fall. For now, I will continue to post to the blog through mid-June. From there, the URL may change to reflect the GLO name. We'll keep you posted about changes as they happen.
Thanks everyone for your continued support. Welcome Amber and Jennifer!

Contest: Narrative Magazine (Deadline July 31)
Narrative Contest Guidelines
The Narrative First-Person Contest is open to all writers. We’re looking for works of fiction or nonfiction written in the first-person point of view in the following categories: short stories, short short stories, novel excerpts, essays, memoirs, and excerpts from book-length nonfiction. Entries must be previously unpublished, no longer than 8,000 words, and must not have been previously chosen as a winner, finalist, or honorable mention in another contest.
In seeking fiction and nonfiction written in first-person point of view, we are especially looking for works that transcend narrow self-interest and self-expression. We are looking for authors whose use of the first person demonstrates a sense of proportion and perspective, an engagement with the world beyond the self, for authors whose gifts of thought or feeling and of insight enhance a reader’s sense of connection and possibility. And, as always, we are looking for manuscripts with a strong narrative, in which the effects of language are intense and total. Reading the first-person narrator—the I of the story—we hope to find the most necessary, most intimate, most personal stories made universal.
Awards: First Prize is $3,000, Second Prize is $1,750, and Third Prize is $1,000. The prize winners will be announced in Narrative and will be eligible for publication. Additionally, ten finalists will receive $125 each. We’ll announce finalists in the magazine as well. All entries will be considered for publication.
There is a $20 fee for each entry. And with your entry, you’ll receive six months of complimentary access to Narrative Backstage.
Entries will be accepted between May 1 and July 31, 2008.
The contest will be judged by the editors of the magazine. Winners and finalists will be announced to the public by August 31, 2008. All writers who enter will be notified by email of the judges’ decisions.
We accept online entries only. We do accept simultaneous submissions, but if your entry is accepted elsewhere, please let us know as soon as possible (and accept our congratulations!).
Entries should be formatted as follows: Double-spaced, with 12-point type, at least one-inch margins, and sequentially numbered pages. Please give the author’s name, address, telephone number, and email address at the top of the first page.

Submissions: Oregon Humanities- Civility (Deadline March 15)
Oregon Humanities invites submissions for its Fall/Winter 2008 issue on the theme of “Civility.”
Rules of conduct, etiquette, and civility—whether codified or implicitly understood—are the social contracts that frame human interactions. In the midst of a dramatic election year, these interactions—between colleagues with political differences or candidates who duke it out in public debates—raise questions about how Americans engage with one another in discussing difficult issues. Can politeness, in an attempt to avoid heated conflict, keep us from having productive, meaningful conversations? Or are public discussions best regulated as inclusive, polite, consensus-building affairs?
For the Fall 2008 issue of Oregon Humanities, which falls under the Oregon Council for the Humanities’ current programmatic focus, “Borders and Boundaries,” we are looking for essays and articles that explore the theme of civility. Writers may wish to explore civility in literature, history, arts, and popular culture; the role of civility and propriety, or conversely discourtesy and impropriety, in public discourse; the changing rules of civility in a newly global, multicultural, and highly technological world; the pros and cons of regulating civility, decency, and propriety; the role of civility in the conduct of war; arguments for or against civility in environmental movements; or the notion of propriety in a variety of public spheres, such as courtrooms, talk
radio shows, and Internet blogs.
We welcome all forms of nonfiction writing, including scholarly essays, journalistic articles, and personal essays. We accept proposals and drafts of scholarly and journalistic features, which range between 2,500 and 4,000 words in length. We accept drafts only of personal essays, which should consider larger thematic questions and run no longer than 1,500 words. All contributors receive an honorarium. Currently the magazine is distributed to 12,000 readers. Essays from Oregon Humanities have been reprinted in the Pushcart Prize anthology and the Utne Reader.
If you are interested in contributing to this discussion, please submit a proposal or draft by June 16, 2008, to Kathleen Holt, Editor, Oregon Humanities magazine, Oregon Council for the Humanities, 812 SW Washington Street, Suite 225, Portland, Oregon, 97205, or kholt@oregonhum.org.
Oregon Humanities is the triannual magazine of the Oregon Council for the Humanities, an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). We believe that knowledge and ideas are fundamental to the health of our communities. You can learn more about OCH’s programs, which include Oregon Chautauqua, Humanity in Perspective, and Commonplace Events, and read the contents of the current issue of Oregon Humanities at www.oregonhum.org .
