In my continuing series on Six Sentences and Joseph Grant, I encourage you all to head over to http://sixofthemonthmar09.blogspot.com/, where voting is going on for the “six of the month”, a monthly contest to select the best story of six sentences. Our friend Joseph Grant has a story up, “The Incongruous Man”, with a hint of the science fiction to it. You can vote for him or one of the other writers.

In Faraway news, we’re closing in on the release date for the new issue.

Six Sentences Book

The creative writing community Six Sentences, which I’ve posted about before, has just released a book. This book is an anthology of “sixes”–stories only six sentences in length–and it features work by none other than Faraway contributor Joseph Grant (who writes me just about everyday letting me know that something else of his has been published–prolific bastard!). You can order the book from Amazon here, or visit the Six Sentences site.

Excerpt on 6 Sentences

admin — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:52:34 +0000

I was introduced to a website called 6 Sentences by Joseph Grant, a prolific writer whose work has appeared in Faraway. In lieu of new work on Faraway, I present to you a six sentence-long excerpt of my novel-to-be: Sail excerpt. It contains the longest sentence I’ve ever written, a matter of pride with me, although this section doesn’t quite give an accurate taste of the tone of the rest of the novel. I was reading a lot of Faulkner at the time and trying to emulate his style.

In the near future, we will also have a new issue of Faraway available, featuring a LOT of writers new to our site.

I want to draw attention today to our many supporters, whose donations keep this journal up and running. We’ve recently received much-needed financial help from Alfred Scolari, Kyle Hernandez, owner of Second Story Books of Claremont, and Gay Degani, Michael Woodcock, Vic Fortezza, and Joseph Grant, all of whom have stories or art appearing in the latest issue of Faraway. I received the following letter from Joseph Grant, which I wanted to share with you all:

Thank you so much for including my story in your fine review. I am honored to be included in it. The typesetting and graphics look great. Keep up the good work. . . . I believe in what you’re doing, so keep doing it. Therefore, here is a small contributions towards the next issue. Best of luck in your literary efforts.

Joseph Grant
