Please take a minute to vote in the poll we posted in our poetry section. It's on the left-hand side, under the Amazon ad. As always, thanks for reading. Also, you'll now find us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/decompmagazine. Follow away. And congrats to our nominees for the storySouth 2009 Million Writers Award: Roland Goity, Brady Hammes, and Chris Mohar. We wish them luck in the selection process, and hope you (re)visit their stories.

Last month we announced that we were looking for a prose editor, and as of today, we're officially closed to applications. We received far more interest than we expected, so we thank those of you who applied for the position or simply offered an encouraging word regarding our search. We hope to announce our new prose editor in the May 2009 issue email, but if we aren't able to, we'll certainly make it known. There is much to read and consider.

Welcome back to decomP for the March 2009 issue. Remember how February's issue was our biggest ever? Well, our March issue is just as big, if not bigger, and we're psyched about that. This month we're featuring new work from Mike Andrelczyk, Eric Bennett, Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal, Melanie Browne, John Bruce, Amber Rose Csech, Ryan Dilbert, Robert M. Dilley, Clint Edwards, D. E. Fredd, Christina Frigo, Benjamin Glass, Duane Locke, Sean Lovelace, Matthew Mahaney, Corey Mesler, Maurice Oliver, Anna Pate, Kenneth Pobo, D. C. Porder, Caleb Powell, Constance Stadler, M. Stowe, Jade Sylvan, Foster Trecost, and Lindy Wheatley. There's also a review of Shane Jones's Light Boxes (Publishing Genius Press, 2009). 

As always, thanks for reading. Stay tuned for the April 2009 issue--our fifth anniversary--which will bring new stuff from Kyle Beachy, Justin Hyde, Stefan Kiesbye, and many, many others.  
 
On a different note, decomP is getting bigger. We have big plans for the rest of 2009 and even bigger plans for 2010. As a result, we'd like to officially announce that we're searching for a prose editor. Responsibilities will include reading fiction and nonfiction submissions. The position doesn't pay at this point, unfortunately, but you'll receive everything that decomP prints in the future for free. And then there's the fame (heh). Interested? We hope so, but here's who we're looking for: a published writer who has prose online and in print, whose tastes mesh with ours (read the latest issue, and if you like all or almost all of the prose, that's a good sign), and who is looking to make a long-term commitment. Also, we're looking for someone who isn't spreading him or herself too thinly. In other words, we'd prefer decomP to be your sole editing gig. Still interested? We hope so, and here's what you should send us: a bio, links to stories we can read (or Word attachments if you only have print pub credits), previous experience that may further qualify you for the position, and why you want to join teaM decomP. Send your application to us at decomp.magazine AT gmail DOT com with Prose Editor Position as the subject. If you have any questions, please ask us. We'll keep the search open until the position is filled. We'll announce our newest addition in a future email. And if you don't make it this round, don't fret. We'll be announcing two other openings in the coming months.  

Also, please join our Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/decomp-magazine. We're trying to move away from sending a monthly email as Gmail only allows 500 emails to be sent per day. We'll continue with the emails for the time being and if there's not enough interest in the group.
