Commonplace

"Commonplaces are a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas. Commonplaces are used by readers, writers, students, and scholars as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts they have learned. Each commonplace book is unique to its creator's particular interests." -Wikipedia-

The editors of the Missouri Review would like to remind every writer in America of the approaching deadline for the journal's annual Editor's Prize Competition. (It's October 1.) The prize for the winners in the fiction, poetry, and essay categories is $5,000 each. Actually, it's more like a gift basket: "Your entry gets you a year’s subscription to The Missouri Review or a year-long extension to your current subscription. Plus, you’ll have the chance to win $5,000, a featured publication, and a paid reading here in Columbia, MO." 

Yes, the entry fee is $20, but that's like four pints of good microbrew or a 48-pack of terrible canned beer or three grande, triple-shot, soy lattes, hold the foam. So don't kid yourself--you can afford it.

Here are the submission guidelines. And if you want to know what the Missouri Review editors like, you can read their free, on-line anthology here. Now go forth and submit.
