Just received word that we’ve settled on our Fall 2010 theme issue. From our esteemed Editor, Rob Spillman:

Tin House is seeking to invest in fiction, essays, and poetry that address the often taboo subject of CLASS IN AMERICA. We are looking for all perspectives: from or about the rich to the middle class to the poor and those who have moved up or down. We want to know more about those who identify with a non-traditional class, or consider themselves classless, along with those who have immigrated from class-bound or class-less countries or societies. Also, what are the new class indicators in our increasingly digitized, global, and green world? The issue will be out September 1, on stands through November. Our deadline is June 1, but this issue is sure to fill sooner than later.

Summer, 2010 will be an OPEN issue and we are reading for this issue as well. The deadline is March 1, on stands June 1.

There are a still a small amount of space in our Spring, 2010 issue, with a theme of “Games People Play.” The deadline is November 24.

Thank you for all of your support, and for those of you in New York, we hope to see you at the Rumpus/Tin House fundraiser on Tuesday, November 17 (more info: http://www.highlineballroom.com/bio.php?id=1183)
