Luna Park #2 is almost here–we can harldy see the keyboards due to all the confetti in the office, and the champagne isn’t helping things. Issue 2 will arrive on computer screens worldwide May 15. The following are hyperlinked highlights about some pieces from the issue:

Three Interviews: (1) we talk with acclaimed short story writer Nam Le (Nam has made a name for himself at One Story, Zoetrope, and elsewhere, and his anticipated first book of stories, The Boat, will be released May 13),

(2) We unearth secrets about letterpresses and poetry from the editors of the new literary magazine Lumberyard,

And (3) Henfield Prize winning fiction writer Sam Ruddick interviews Gregory Napp, editor of the (very) short fiction site 971 Menu.

The scoop–finally–on Hobart! A piece much delayed, both inexplicably and inexcusably, from Luna Park #1. (Our sincere apologies, Aaron.)

Thomas Washington looks at the literary magazine submission process from the writers’ side in his essay “Chronicle of Slush.”
