Re posting for a last minute reminder. Submissions due tomorrow!

Special Issue: Stories by and about the working class:

Calling all proud working-class writers! The Ne’er-Do-Well literary magazine is seeking short stories, essays, and comics that represent the experience, culture, struggle, and rebellion – on and off the job – of working-class people. Put on some Billy Bragg, brush up on your Communist Manifesto, and get those creative fires burning. Submissions due by May 15, 2010.

Note: Though all interested writers are encouraged to submit, and we expect this issue will appeal to a general readership, please note that it’s being published to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ILWU Local 5 -the branch of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union whose membership is comprised of workers at Powell’s Books and Aramark food services in Portland, Oregon. Profits from the sale of this issue will be donated to the ILWU strike fund.
