The Rust Belt Review is now accepting paper submissions for its Sept 2002
journal publication.
Please submit papers that investigate the culture (or emergence thereof)of
the socio-economic region of the USA known as the "rust belt." The Rust Belt
Review is a new literary journal with its center of operations in Buffalo,
New York. We publish original fiction, poetry, drama, creative non-fiction,
personal essays, and critical works. We do not subscribe any particular
school or philosophy of literature or art, and we intend to remain that way.
We are accepting submissions having to do with literature and the rust belt,
history and the rust belt, politics and the rust belt, psychology and the
rust belt etc.
We are especially interested in the development of a "rust belt" culture,
identity, and heritage. Since we are primarily a literary journal we stress
the submissions of papers dealing with literature (of any genre, time
period, or author) and how the attitutes expressed in those works reflect,
or help to define/redefine, the part of the United States known as the rust
belt.
Submissions must be received by July 1, 2002 to be considered for the Fall
2002 Rust Belt Review. Please conform to the MLA style of parenthetical
citations. We ask that you submit only previously unpublished works. You may
include a brief biography of yourself with your submission if you wish.
Biography materials will not weigh into the selection process, but it helps
the editors to connect to the writers and artists personally. If selected
for publication you will receive courtesy copies of the journal. If we
publish your work, it remains your property, but we ask that if the same
work is republished elsewhere, you kindly credit the Rust Belt Review as
your work's first publisher.
To submit to the Rust Belt Review:
Please email your submission in the body of the email and as an attatchment
in .doc format if possible to...
RustBeltReview@buffalo.com
If you have any further questions please email the editors at
jws4@geneseo.edu or sikorskj@canisius.edu
Thank You,

**************************************************
Rust Belt: An economic region in the Northeastern and Midwestern quadrants
of the United States. The term gained wide use in the 1970s as the formerly
dominant industrial region became noted for the abandonment of factories,
unemployment, outmigration, the loss of electoral votes, and overall decline
as the nation shifted toward a service economy.
Review: To look over, study, or examine again, to consider retrospectively,
to look back on. To examine with an eye to criticism or correction, or to
write or give a critical report on.
