WordHustler

Full disclosure: one of the founders of this site, due to launch May 19, is a former student of mine. But here's an interesting re-mediation: Web back to print.

WordHustler is conceived as a social network that, according to the press release, "provides writers with a bevy of innovative tools designed to help authors of all genres to get their manuscripts into the hands of editors and find publishing success."

Crafted by John Singleton and Anne Walls, WordHustler "offers a free database of over 3000 community-moderated US literary markets, a submission tracker, a cover letter composer, a project manager, and OS X dashboard widgets for submission tracking on-the-go."

At the end of the day, a print, snail mail version of your submission goes out to journals, little magazines, and anyone else who still looks to USPS to deliver them their much needed copy. Will it work? Only time will tell. :->
