Coach's Midnight Diner New Editorial Team and Site

Written by Coach Culbertson

Wednesday, 28 November 2007

Back when Moses was in charge of handling all the issues that the children of Israel were wrestling, his father-in-law Jethro told him, "What the hell do you think you're doing? You're wearing yourself out, man! Go get some help!" Ok, so that's an official Coach Culbertson paraphrase, but the intent is the same. Being a relatively smart man, I decided to take Jethro's advice and recruit from the Diner alumni some colleagues to help man the kitchen of this strange out-of-the-way place.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to some new members of the Coach's Midnight Diner Editorial Team:

Kevin Lucia - Author of "The Way Station" from the first edition of the Diner, providing wit and speed for the team- http://www.kevinlucia.net
Mike Duran - Author of "Polly's Muse" from the first edition, solving for the experience and wisdom side of the Diner equation- http://www.mikeduran.com
Michelle Pendergrass - Bloggerina from the Misfits and Nanowrimo Spring Training Veteran, providing heart for the team- http://zanesmilkmachine.blogspot.com
Vennessa Ng- Editor Extraordinaire, back for a second round of keeping Coach in line - http://www.aotearoaeditorial.com/
Melody Graves, Author of "The Looking Glass" from the first edition, will be stepping up as our new Layout Editor - http://www.melodygraves.com
and of course, your friendly neighborhood fry cook, Coach Culbertson

I've posted up a placeholder web site for the Diner at http://www.reliefjournal.com/cmd that contains the snarky submission guidelines for the time being. It will eventually be replaced with a much cooler site that will feature a lot more. Submissions are only taken at the Relief Writers Network.

For the second edition, all categories will be open for the three Editor's Choice cash prizes. Also, all accepted authors will be eligible for serving in the Diner kitchen for the third edition.

We might still have a few more join the Diner staff, but all in good time. Meanwhile, go get your coffee and start writing up some good genre entrees that we can put on the menu.

Your friendly neighborhood fry cook,
Coach Culbertson
