There is much going on here at Weave Magazine!
Margaret, Laura, Joel, and Robyn are plugging away at the plethora of submissions for issue 04. If you haven't heard from us yet, never fear! Margaret swears all responses will be sent by April 15th, come hell or high water.
Weave will be heading to the AWP again this year - we're sharing a table with the fine folks over at Open Thread and Margaret will be on the panel The In Sound from Way Out: Submission to Publication - come by and introduce yourself! We love meeting contributors and readers! Margaret promises to only be a little bit socially awkward. She's full of promises it seems.
In fun distribution news, you can now pick up a copy of Weave at Awesome Books on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh (they don't seem to have a website yet, but it's a lovely independent used bookstore right next to Spak Brothers, for those familiar with the area). Weave is also available at the independent bookstore Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley. Margaret and Laura can't wait to go there and poke around!
Finally, we at Weave are having a special offer for the remainder of the month of March! Only a few copies of Weave's first issue remain, and the next 8 people who subscribe to Weave will receive a copy of issue 01 for FREE! How awesome is that? Totally awesome and you know it. So go subscribe!

Weave at Ligonier Valley Writers' Conference
Margaret and I have been invited to participate in the 21st Ligonier Valley Writers' Conference on Saturday, July 26 at the Ligonier Valley Library. From their website:
Ligonier Valley Writers is a non-profit writers group in Southwestern Pennsylvania which encourages interest in the written word and the continued perfecting of the art and craft of writing.
We will be participating with three other SWPA literary journals in a feedback workshop with potential submitters. Margaret likened it to speed-dating, which I thought was a rather accurate comparison. Speed-feedback will give writers the opportunity to discuss their writing face-to-face with journal editors, as well as get the opportunity to ask questions about the submission process in general. We are very excited about this opportunity to work with local writers and encourage a dialogue between writers and editors. Additionally, there are a number of established writers that will be speaking about various genres including poetry, fiction, nonfiction as well as mystery.
If you are interested in attending the 21st Ligonier Valley Writers' Conference please check out their website and download the brochure. You also might consider joining the group as they have a regular calendar of informational events this fall. We would love to meet any of you from the area and work with you on your submission to Weave.
