July 2012 Patchwork

Hello, everyone!

Our readers have voted, and Mary Kate Colligan's "Forest Foundling" has been named the best work in the July issue of Patchwork (you can find an excerpt of FF on the Patchwork page of this blog)! The story has been running since January 2012 and is still going strong. The plot is really heating up, so I suggest you jump on the bandwagon and read it quickly before it is out of your reach forever.

The July 2012 issue of Patchwork is still available, and will be until September 30th. At that time, it will be discontinued, so be sure to get it while you can.

The September issue will be released on the thirtieth of this month, and will feature some new works by new authors. I'll have a sneak peak up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out!

So far, we have raised over $70 for Food for the Poor, Inc. Please support our mission to feed the less fortunate by purchasing the July 2012 issue of Patchwork, subscribing to this blog, and "liking" Patchwork Magazine on facebook. Please spread the word!

Thank you for visiting our blog and for your support.

Sincerely,
~Sydney Duplechin
Editor of Patchwork Magazine and Head Fish

OLL & Camp NaNoWriMo

Needless to say, we here at Fish Out of Water Media are not the only ones who support young writers. A non-profit organization called the Office of Letters and Light devotes their all to encouraging people--especially young people--to try their hand at writing. Each year they have contests to challenge you to write a 50,000 word novel in just one month.

Though their main contest is in November (the month they term "National Novel Writing Month"--www.nanowrimo.org) they also have another similar contest in June, affectionately known as "Camp NaNoWriMo". Because many of the works we have published are former "NaNo"s, we feel compelled to encourage you to participate in this project, and support the Office of Letters and Light. Check them out today, and get ready to write a novel!

Welcome!

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the official blog of Fish Out of Water Media! Thank you for dropping by!

We are a small group of artists, authors, editors, musicians, and film-makers who publish and produce books, magazines, and video. We were begun as "White Ivy Publishing" in 2007, but later changed our name to Fish Out of Water Media in order to reflect not only our growing interest in all forms of art, but also to reflect the fact that we are new artists just starting out on our own journey. Our mission is to help other young artists like ourselves while providing clean, fun entertainment for people of all ages.


Please stay to have a look around our blog and learn about some of the projects we are currently working on. If you have any questions or comments about us and our work, feel free to send us an email at fishoutofwatermedia@gmail.com.
