About Weasel Press
Weasel Press is a new independent publisher still figuring things out in the literary world. We’re dedicated in seeking quality writers and helping them get a voice in an already loud world. We’re a little rusty at the moment since things are still under construction, but we hope to build a great reputation!
Our first publication was Vagabonds: Anthology of the Mad Ones, a literary magazine that is still printing and still growing. From there we’ve grown into a few other titles. This past year we’ve released two issues of Vagabonds, partnered with Mind Steady Productions to bring an electric issue of Open Mind, and dove into the darker world with The Haunted Traveler. We’ve got a lot of plans for the near future, so stick around and watch us grow into something awesome!
“Kelp” and “Bluebells” were accepted into this cool Anthology:
Degenerates: Voices for Peace
Weasel Press is now calling for submissions for a poetry and arts anthology called Degenerates: Voices for Peace. The purpose of the project is to awaken, enlighten and maybe even provide a bit of shelter to those who need it. Poetry has some immense power in the world, either through healing its readers or inspiring them to become involved. We’re looking for Poetry, Photography, Artwork, Prose Poetry, etc with passion. We need to be able to feel and experience your work. There is a wealth of social justice and other topics that we are looking at to put this anthology together. Things such as: Bullying, sexuality, Homelessness, Free Speech, Animal Rights, Rape Culture, and much more. Artwork and written work does not have to be strictly political but must address something that would be a voice for peace

Art Contest Round #3
Sorry this post is late. I have been busy wrapping up projects and doing art drop offs for my fall shows in order to prepare for my week away. I’ve had a few rejections last week, so I haven’t been feeling that great.
Monday
Sipep2014 – Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography
This is a major prize in photography that is based in Jerusalem. The monetary award is pretty significant and seemed right up my ally with my work. It is a biennial prize and one of the most generous ones in the field of photography!
Hodder Fellowship
Princeton University has a fellowship that will be awarded to roughly four artists to realize an independent project for the academic year 2015-16. I thought my silkscreening project was a perfect fit for this.
Friday
FCF Call for Art
FCF is an art research-collaboration exploring issues around energy supply, ecology, hydrology, pollution, human influenced global warming, and tensions between national and local politics and between local democracy and multi-national business.
‘Hermeneutic Chaos Literary Journal
‘Flowers’ was accepted into the Hermeneutic Chaos Literary Journal for the November issue.
Hermeneutic Chaos Literary Journal
Hermeneutic Chaos will publish six literary editions in a year, in the months of January, March, May, July, September & November.
It seeks to engage with poetry and prose that evade the limitations of genre and celebrate the commotion of the liminal space. In this regard, we are highly selective, and present only the best poetry and fiction available to us.
We look for beautifully handcrafted semantic mindscapes which provoke secluded emotions to emerge and clash with words with all their infinite capacities, making them perspire. We wish to witness the manner in which the absence finds its presence by wringing the silence. All this, however, with a certain aesthetic humility.

Art Contest Round Up #2
I’m back this week with our second art contest round up! The Wheel of Time turns at the Autumn Solstice on September 22nd and as the seasons change, so does my life.
This week I added my fifth exhibition to my fall calendar which is at The Hive Gallery in Quincy, MA. I’ve been busy this week getting my artwork framed, mounted, printed and picked up/dropped off at various locations. I’m just thankful that most of these exhibitions have been local lately!
Anyway, here are this weeks deadlines:
Tuesday
The Hive Gallery – “Autumn” show deadline
This is a cool gallery as it is much like the Golden Thread Gallery as it is located in the bottom of a church in Quincy. But it also happens to be one of my longer exhibitions running until November 21st! Pine Needles and Flowers were both accepted.
Wednesday
Women in Art 278 Magazine
I submitted my artwork for a feature and/or inclusion in a Women’s art magazine. As a female artist, I’m trying to gain exposure within the women’s sect more.
Thursday
Entrepreneurship for All Pitch Contest
This is a contest I’m excited about. If selected I will be invited to pitch my artwork to a board to be awarded a grant.
Friday
Arteles Residency
I haven’t heard yet about the results of this residency based in Finland. But from my notes, they will be posted today (probably later this evening). I’ll update next week with the results of this!
Exhibition News
Received word today that my pieces Pine Needles and Flowers were accepted into a seasonal exhibition called “Autumn” at the Hive Gallery in Quincy, MA!
Exhibition Dates:
September 26th – November 21st
Reception on September 26th 6:30 -8:30pm.
Art Contest Round Up #1
A few deadlines have passed this week in terms of art contests! Several I’m quite excited about, but I won’t hear from for awhile or until next month.
Here is the round up:
Sunday
UncommonGoods Art Contest
This one I’m really excited about because not only do you win money with it, but the retailer will ‘buy’ your print to be sold on their website which reaches thousands! You’ll also get %5 of each print sold through their retailer.
Working Art Grant/Purchase Award
This contest has money as well, but the goal for this contest is to award an artist with funds to help boost productivity.
ExperimentToBio
This contest is unique in the sense that it is located in Bilbao, Spain and they will be doing the production of a solo exhibition as part of the award with a small monetary prize. The contest is celebrating creativity as a whole. Doing something that is risky in terms of the world of art.
Monday
En Em Art Space
This contest is unique in the sense that you’ll be competing for representation at a new contemporary art gallery in Sacramento, CA.
CultureHub Art & Technology Festival
This is more of an exhibition type of event. An art & technology festival is occurring in NY in November of this year. I thought it was an interesting fit for my artwork.
Tuesday
Burn Magazine Emerging Photographer Fund
This one I am most excited about currently. Burn Magazine is an established photography magazine and they award a quite generous grant to an emerging photographer who they think represents an ‘icon’ for tomorrow.
Wednesday
“Surface & Depth” exhibition at the Golden Thread Gallery
This is an exhibition that I just got into that is about creating depth on a surface and vice versa. The Golden Thread Gallery is located in West Hartford, CT.
There you have it! I’ll be back at the end of next week with another round up of art contests.
