Written something about Mexico?

Monday 17th April 2006 - 10:01:32 AM

I have a story about a trip to Mexico in my head that I’ve been meaning to write for a long time. Maybe Word Pirates can help me with that. But for any of you who have either written about Mexico already, or can write up 1500 words about it before April 25, The Mississippi Review wants those stories.

Upcoming Issues
April 2006: 1500 Words About Mexico

Edited by Peter Theis

Anything, anything at all. Whether it’s from Mexico, or about Mexico, as long as it has Mexico in it one way or another, we want to see your short fictions (1500 words) that have something to do with this magic country just south of us. Anything with steaming lamb heads in the markets of Xochimilco qualifies. Anything from the town clown who rides his bicycle backwards, to the ugly, short, charismatic man who made rain with a Volkswagen engine on mountain tops, to the turtle reserve and the freshly baked chocolate nut bread on the beach in Mazunte, to the major U.S. banks urging violent “elimination” of the Zapatistas to benefit those in the “investment community.” We want difficult and unexpected stories from or about Mexico.

In other news, Word Pirates is this Thursday! I hope you have all had time to edit what we did at our first meeting and are excited about our second meeting. Yar!
