Staff:
Stacy Taylor: Stacy developed and taught three successful writing courses in 2002 for Universal Class. She won two instructor awards for the duration of her position and was ranked number forty-six out of over 4000 instructors. An accomplished writer herself, she has been published extensively online and has won several writing contests. Today she writes when she has time and co-edits, co-publishes two online publications: Chick Flicks Ezine, and HeavyGlow: a journal of flash fiction. Stacy can frequently be found sipping mocha breves from the local espresso stand and fighting her craving for Thai food.
Laurie O'Hare: A slightly tarnished Southern Bell, Laurie was a Junior Editor for Abstracts magazine. When the publication folded, she took a position as an Assistant Editor for 3F Publications, where she assisted in selecting fiction for their signature anthology series. During her time with 3F, she edited Steven Weidel's novel, Shara, which is currently available for purchase at Scrybe Press. Laurie took second place in the 2003 24-hour short story contest at Writer's Weekly, and she won third place in the 2004 Southern Halloween Short Story Contest at Lost in the Dark. Currently, she continues to sharpen her writing and editing skills, and co-edits, co-publishes Chick Flicks Ezine, and HeavyGlow: a journal of flash fiction.
Latest Issue and storySouth Nominations
I'm honestly doing the best I can. I am trying to get the issue up before I have to completely have to wipe my hard drive. Not an easy task. I'm close to pulling every freshly dyed red hair out of my freakin head!
I need some serious help (and I'm not ashamed to admit it) The future of Chick Flicks is in doubt. I love this publication, I know we expose voices that would otherwise never be heard, and that is what I truly love about this "job."
I need not only an assistant webmaster, but also assistant editors. We're not a huge publication, but one with passion for great writing that evokes emotions (and we have "built a 'name' in the four+years we've been in business.) That's our number one goal. Our "mission statement," if you will. Stacy and I shared a common belief that words do indeed touch on emotions, and we were quite adamant that it be emotions that often make us uncomfortable, emotions that make us examine those deep recesses within ourselves that we normally wouldn't explore or at the very least, not only wouldn't admit, but refused to verbalize. So, for any of you out there that share our "mission statement" please reply to chickflicksezine@yahoo.com
and please, if you're a reader, donate, and generously. Our contributors need to be compensated for the ability they have to make you feel that you're part of the human race, whatever your background or experiences. Everyone HAS a story and that is the guide by which we go from (no matter how "close to home" or "out of the norm) when choosing our content.
Now, on to a critical announcement. We have just nominated our picks for storySouth's
MillionWriters Award. Please go and nominate the Chick Flicks nominees. The link above is direct to the Reader's Nominations. The more nominations each story gets, not only the more attention each writer receives, but it so bodes well for the publication.
It was a difficult decision, but like the Pushcart, there our word count requirements.
Here our our 2007 nominees:
A Swim in the Clouds by Dave Burton
Dogwood by Adam Burns
Night Train by Len Bains
I love both Dave and Adam's works, both go places that make us feel uncomfortable, yet familiar. However, Len had been a reliable, honest and realistic contributor to this publication. And his Night Train story shows the depths of his talent.
