Descriptions of creative writing programs in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Information on conferences, colonies and centers for writers (Dustbooks).

Edited by Len Fulton (Dustbooks). If you're wondering where to submit your work, this is the place to begin. The entries, from SLANT: A Journal of Poetry (a publication of PAPA, the Arkansas Philogogical Association) to Granta (London address; post-modern attitude), make it clear how to submit, what to submit . . . even how long the wait to hear back might be. The entries are indexed by subject areas, which makes confronting the thousands of possibilities a little easier.
