Yale Angler's Journal November 9, 2009 at 1:52 pm: Dear Matt Smythe,

Greetings from the Yale Anglers’ Journal. We are proud to announce that we have begun work on the latest edition of the Yale Anglers’ Journal, which is to hopefully be released at the end of this year. As you are a past contributor to the Yale Anglers’ Journal, we cherish and appreciate your work, and would like to take this opportunity to solicit more to be considered in the upcoming issue. We are looking for both poetry and prose pieces. If you have any writing you deem worthy for submission, we would love to consider it for publication. We thank you for your time and commitment to angling literature, your past submission, and hopefully much more to come.

Regards,

The Yale Anglers’ Journal

Jeff Vande Zande March 26, 2011 at 1:26 am: Dear Matthew,

I know that you really liked my book Threatened Species, so I wanted to share with you that the book now has an e-publisher (Untreed Reads) and has just seen the beginning of its e-release.

Here’s the link:

If you choose to share that with your readers…well, that would be great!
