Sam's Dot Current Events Update
Effective 1 January 2009 [i.e., now], the Sam's Dot Current Events newsletter is closing. All information and announcements relevant to Sam's Dot Publishing will be included in Expressions Newsletter, also on our site. You will find the SDP section in Expressions at least as entertaining and informative as the Current Events newsletter.
We will continue to use poetry [and to pay for it] in the SDP portion of Expressions Newsletter. Poetry accepted but as yet unpublished in Current Events will be published in February and subsequent months.
The Current Events newsletter also included a publishing schedule. That schedule will be a regular monthly feature in the SDP portion of Expressions Newsletter.
The reason for the closure is, quite simply, time. Much of what appeared in Current Events was already included in Expressions, and now that the duplication of effort is over, I will be able to spend more time on other publishing matters, which will benefit you the readers and you the writers and you the artists. So perhaps it's best not to think of this as a closure. It's a transfer of material.
Now: go read Expressions Newsletter. Please.
