Bradford Walker at PulpRev.com talks about Fear of a Pulp Planet as well as how everyone involved in the PulpRev needs to stay positive and focused. Every single person involved, whether a fan or creator, can do something: www.pulprev.com/2017/08/getting-started-keeping-spirit-up.html"Are you writing? Good! Keep at it, even if you suck. Everyone that got published and made a name for themselves started out as a terrible hack making basic errors left, right, and center. You may not write saleable prose today, but you will tomorrow if you keep at it. Writing is a skill as much as an art, which is why it's a craft. You illustrators out there--and by God do we need you--should keep at it just as much, and for the same reasons. Learn to hit deadlines and you will have a huge leg up on the competition; you could be the next Frazetta, but only if you Git Gud."

His final post wraps up with great quotes from classic pulp writers. Anybody thinking about jumping in on the modern-day "Pulp 2.0" movement should give Barnson's series a look.  |

Pro Se Productions is one of the leading "New Pulp" publishing houses. Editor-in-Chief, Tommy Hancock, is firing up a "Thriller of the Week" project. Submissions are now open: www.bibliorati.com/single-post/2017/08/22/SUBMISSIONS-OPEN-FOR-%E2%80%98PRO-SE-THRILLER-OF-THE-WEEK%E2%80%99
"For the THE PRO SE THRILLER OF THE WEEK, we are adapting the rotating movie of the week concept and bringing four thrillers in rotation per month to readers. We plan to introduce four new series written by writers who will propose concepts based on the bible of each series and have a season of four-six ‘episodes’ of each series play out in rotation over that many months. We will pick one day a week for release and each week on that day release a new 10-20 thousand word stand alone story in one of the four series for only $1.49 each!”

An update from Douglas Draa of Weirdbook:
"I'll be putting the first 'Witches Themed Annual' proof together and sending it to the publisher next weekend. This'll be the 14th or 15th. Then I'll announce the TOC. I'm hoping that we publish as early as possible in October in plenty of time for Halloween and because a regular issue is coming out in November. I also want this off the table as quickly as possible since submissions reopen on the 1st of October."The special "Witches" issue sounds cool. Any aspiring pulp horror/fantasy authors should note that submissions for Weirdbook open back up on on October first.  |

Any aspiring pulp horror/fantasy authors should note that submissions for Weirdbook open back up on on October first. I sat up and took increased notice of Weirdbook when John Fultz called it the new Weird Tales. Draa has been punching out issue after issue in a fashion that defies genre standards and has kicked the magazine's profile up considerably. And he's open for submissions on the first of October. Swing for that pitch, dog-brethren! |

Thanks for sharing deuce! This is a fantastic book I highly recommend! I agree! However, I must say that the art for Thune's Vision could've easily graced the cover of a second- or third-tier gaming module around 1980. I don't say that as a compliment. The color palette is washed out and there is no dynamism or tension. There are several good artists working in the whole PulpRev/New Pulp scene. Hernstrom should contact them about his next cover. Or, perhaps, he needs to get in touch with our own illustrious Zarono...  |
