A comprehensive guide to collaboratively building a community and literary reputation through small presses and magazines — and opting out of the “Big Five” publishing lottery Most beginning writers dream of huge book deals with big-name publishers, multicity book tours, and breathless write-ups praising their brilliant, bestselling debut. Eager to sustain this dream, most publishing guides focus on querying, finding an agent, and publishing a book with one of the “Big Five” mainstream, corporate publishing houses. The result for new writers is often frustration, disillusionment with the process, and, ultimately, a sense of creative failure. This first-of-its-kind guide suggests a different path, one that takes seriously the process of submitting to small presses and literary magazines and choosing a route to publication that is writer-led, community-based, and more accessible. It’s also a manifesto for finding joy in the process of submission, arguing that it should give writers energy, not take it from them. In How to Submit, veteran small press author and instructor Dennis James Sweeney shares the secrets of his success, such as: • practical advice on formulating a submissions plan, including choosing where to submit and whether to submit to contests • tips for writing a standout cover letter, as well as using an encouraging rejection letter to greatest advantage • strategies on how to manage wait times and payment • a vision of a publishing landscape that includes authors alongside editors and publishers, all working together to expand the possibilities of the literary world Perfect for writers of any genre, How to Submit demystifies the small press and literary magazine world for those seeking a place for their work that really feels like home.

The first volume in Joseph Campbell's monumental four-volume The Masks of God series, originally published in 1959 and now revised with up-to-date science and new illustrations in this Collected Works of Joseph Campbell paperback edition In this first volume of The Masks of God, the world's preeminent mythologist explores and illuminates the wellsprings of myth. Showing his exemplary combination of scholarly depth and popular enthusiasm, Joseph Campbell looks at the expressions of religious awe in early humans and their echoes in the rites of surviving primal tribes. Campbell shows how myth has informed our understanding of the world, seen and unseen, throughout time. As he explores and shares archetypal mythic images and practices, he also points to how these concepts inform our personal lives. Upon completing The Masks of God, Campbell found that his work affirmed "the unity of the race of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history." He likened this unity to a symphony in which various parts create a "great movement." Perhaps more than ever before, Campbell's insight is not only illuminating but also inspiring.

Joseph Campbell's collected writings on dance and art, edited and introduced by Nancy Allison, CMA, the founder of Jean Erdman Dance, and including Campbell's unpublished manuscript "Mythology and Form in the Performing and Visual Arts," the book he was working on when he died. Dance was one of mythologist Joseph Campbell's wide-ranging passions. His wife, Jean Erdman, was a leading figure in modern dance who worked with Martha Graham and had Merce Cunningham in her first company. When Campbell retired from teaching in 1972, he and Erdman formed the Theater of the Open Eye in New York City, where for nearly fifteen years they presented a wide array of dance and theater productions, lectures, and performance pieces. The Ecstasy of Being brings together seven of Campbell's previously uncollected articles on dance, along with "Mythology and Form in the Performing and Visual Arts," which is published for the first time in this book. Campbell explores the rise of modern art and dance in the twentieth century; delves into the work and philosophy of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and others; and, as always, probes the idea of art as "the funnel through which spirit is poured into life." This book offers the reader an accessible, yet profound and provocative, insight into Campbell's lifelong fascination with the relationship of myth to aesthetic form and human psychology.
