Exhibit 9.9

So The Cupboard is back as a quarterly pamphlet series, and while I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more about it in this space, I thought I'd post our call for submissions in case you didn't see it elsewhere. Please send us your work or help us spread the word.

By the way, I think this call for submissions is the first time we've said who our first author is going to be. We couldn't be more excited about it. It's going to be a really incredible volume and we feel very lucky to get to share it.


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Cupboard is a quarterly pamphlet of creative prose published in Lincoln, Nebraska. Each volume features a body of work by a single author in a uniquely designed chapbook format. Our first volume will be out in June and features Samedi the Deafness author Jesse Ball.

We are currently looking for prose submissions of anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000 words. Submissions can be composed of one piece or multiple pieces. We make no demands on content or genre with the exception of verse poetry, which we don't publish. We read fiction and nonfiction and are happy to see collections that include both.

There is no reading fee for submissions, and simultaneous submissions are allowed. All submissions should be sent as email attachments to submit [AT] thecupboardpamphlet.org. For more information, visit http://www.thecupboardpamphlet.org.
