CMP Featured Writers Feb. 2024

Is it just me, or did January feel like an eternity? I had a ton of shit happen in the last four weeks that made the month seem to drag on forever. Some Good; Some Bad. Between the new magazine and all the other projects on my plate–plus the extra surprises that got piled on top–it was a bit of a rocky start to 2024. But, “this ain’t no place for the weary kind.” So I’m pulling up my bootstraps, and marching into February with my head held high. I accomplished the goals I set out to achieve—even if I did hit a few bumps in the road along the way.

Wasn’t sure if I could pull it off, but Night Owl Narrative No.1 kicked off with a BANG!! Enormous thanks to the contributors, and to everyone who grabbed a copy. I’ve been getting nothing but positive feedback. I’m so happy y’all dig it. Now buckle up for No.2! It’s officially available today, and in my opinion, this one is even better!! I want every issue to outshine the last. I’ll have a copy around the 12th to post some pictures of. I’ve got some info inside from Ron Whitehead and Dr. Rory Patrick Feehan about Gonzofest Dublin: Calling The Underground, a column by Leland Locke about the True Crime in Layers podcast by Bob’s Bookstore, and another killer lineup of literature and artwork. Can’t wait for y’all to see this one!

I’m almost finished putting together No.3 as well. I’ll share the list of contributors soon. Stay tuned for details. I’m also about to start working on book manuscripts. Today is the deadline to submit, so get them sent before midnight if you were planning to send one. I’ll get in touch with you soon if you’ve already submitted. Hold Fast.

Below you’ll find the list of featured writers for February. If you want to submit some work for a spot, send 1-3 poems to cajunmuttpress@gmail.com for consideration. I have a few spots left to fill for March, then I’ll be reading for April. Send submissions for Night Owl Narrative to the same email. For the magazine, I’m taking artwork, photography, poetry, prose, flash fiction, short stories, columns, articles, interviews, etc. No theme; anything goes.

I’d like to thank everyone who’s accompanied me on this journey throughout the years. I’m looking forward to reading y’all’s work in the year(s) ahead and helping y’all get your words out to the world.

Love Y’all, Write On,
