I post this as a public service, my gift to you fellow bloggers. This is a non-fiction prose publishing opportunity for advanced cultural, and / or academic, discourse:

"Bile: The Journal of Discontent"

Face it, you’re angry.

There’s a lot to be angry about. Bile is a new on-line journal of art, letters, media and politics that seeks to embrace your indignation and harness it as a trigger for progressive discussions and important debates. Bile seeks to berate injustice, scold weak thinking, rebuke the successes of the undeserving, and generally reprimand those who produce, market, legislate, or enforce maddening drivel.

Yet Bile is most not a reactionary forum for the disappointed to pursue personal vendettas. Neither is it interested in conspiracy theories, jibes, or recklessness simply for the sake of being reckless. Bile is responsible, pro-active, intellectually credible, critically rigorous, and enormously disgruntled.

We are now seeking bilious contributions on a range of topics. 4,000 to 6,000 word essays on all aspects of art, literature, and culture, but also works of intelligent satire, international, national, and regional politics, as well as anatomies of melancholy, histories of alienation or malcontentedness, riot, unrest, civil disobedience and the uses of anger. We also welcome 1,000 word book, film and television reviews.

Bile is peer-reviewed, and has an international editorial board of academics and cultural practitioners. Our first issue will launch In February 2005.
