Thank you for posting the call for submissions in French on your blog. You'll be pleased to know that there will be a French version of Noir Nation Issue 1.

Also I'm now looking for stories for Issue 2 (Issue 1 will be available Sept 1, 2011). Looking for short stories and graphic stories (comics). Maybe you have some, and could also help spread the word? We start reading for issue 2 on Oct 1.

If stories are in French, they still need to be accompanied by an English translation for the English version.

Thank you,

Alan

I'm the European editor for Noir Nation, a new international e-journal of crime fiction specializing in noir. I've had a tough time breaking into the world of French crime writers. But France was such a major player in adding to the noir tradition that I really want to get some new young french writers involved in the Noir Nation project, if you know some. Please pass the word along. And let me know if there is anyway I could return the favor. (I'm American, but have lived in Prague for 18 years).

Sincerely,

alan@noirnation.com
