Stay tuned for the Stolen Issue
The Stolen Issue is coming. Really. We are restructuring the Big Ugly format and it's slowing us down just a bit. Sign up to the mailing list, and we'll send you a note as soon as the issue is posted. ![]()
Check Out TheRumpus.net
Thanks to everyone who submitted stories, poems, photos, songs, and films. We are poring over every submission and will be responding to contributors soon. In the meantime, you must all go check out TheRumpus.net, the most fabulous new magazine created in the last five centuries. With the cacophony of media clamoring for attention these days, believe us, we wouldn't add anything to your list of daily stimuli unless it was really, really worth it. The Rumpus is really worth it. Edited by Stephen Elliott, The Rumpus has fantastic original content, themed blogs (on music, film, etc.), and "Around the Web" -- amazing bits of writing and video that, for some reason, no one else noticed, but everyone should see. The Rumpus describes itself here:

What is "The Stolen Issue"?
People have been asking us what we mean by the theme for Issue #8, "The Stolen Issue." That's for you to tell us. Send us submissions about stolen kisses, stolen oil, stolen cars, stolen elections, stolen hearts, stolen years, stolen money, stolen girlfriends, stolen office supplies, stolen identity, stolen glory. The deadline is just around the corner (Feb. 15). We want your stories, essays, poems, photos, songs and short films. Note: if your submission bounces back with a message that says "Mailbox full," please let us know at biguglyfiction@aol.com, and we'll clear out the mailboxes. Visit the submissions page for more details. Got questions? info@biguglyreview.com. ![]()

First photos from the Release Party
Thanks to all who came out for the Issue #7 Release Party at the Deluxe. The readers were great and the crowd was warm and responsive. Dublit.com came and recorded it, so we'll soon be uploading audio files of many of our stories. Howard Junker, editor of ZYZZYVA magazine, took some photos at the event and has posted them to his blog; you can see them here. We'll add more photos, too, in a day or so. ![]()

Utne Magazine thinks we're "great"
Submissions have closed for Issue #7, "Fight or Flight," and we are nestling down with the stacks of stories and CDs and DVDs that have come in from near and far. In the meantime, take a look at this article in the Utne Reader, in which The Big Ugly Review is determined to be a "great literary journal." And then check out the NewPages online blog, which calls Kia Simon's film "The Dive" (in this issue) "the most absorbingly gorgeous four minutes you could spend staring at the computer today." And Howard Junker, editor of the esteemed journal Zyzzyva, writes in his blog that we are "fantastic." Isn't that nice? We hope to get back to submitters with responses within six to eight weeks. Thanks for your patience. ![]() |
