DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST 30, 2010. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AT DIANNEGLAVEROOTEDINTHEEARTH@CLEAR.NET
I love fiction, and some of my blogs at Rooted in the Earth reflects my interest.
Please submit your blog of environmental fiction–prose or poetry–to the second Rooted in the Earth Blog Carnival titled Shades of Nature: Environmental Fiction. I am flexible since I will even include reviews/essays;/overviews of environmental fiction. C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia comes to mind when I think of environmental fiction. Another example is W. E. B. Du Bois’ The Quest of the Silver Fleece. Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry edited by Camille Dungy is another option to consider when looking to some models for environmental fiction.
Submissions outside the scope of environmental fiction will not be considered. Perspectives from diversity including gender and ethnicity, along with more general submissions are welcomed.
If you do not have a blog, I will work with you on posting your environmental fiction if accepted.
Submit your blog here. The deadline is MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 2010. POSTING OF THE BLOG CARNIVAL WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE END OF AUGUST.
I look forward to your submissions.
African Americans and the Environment 
Hi Dianne, and thanks for this. A query, though: my informal book review blog contains lots of reviews of environmental writing, including fiction, because that’s how my reading and interests skew. Should I choose a recent one as a sample/highlight, or am I more or less out of the running this time around?
hi richard, i am so glad you are interested in submitting to the blog carnival. choose your favorite and send one. there’s plenty of time for submission. pls use the link from the carny when you decide.
hope this helps. let me know if you have more questions.
