Q: What sets your publication apart from others that publish similar material?

A: An articulation of dark whimsy that focuses on the senses, seasons, and our own experiences of those things.

Q: What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?

A: Read the publication! It's available on line for free; don't submit to us unless you like what we do.

Q: What do submitters most often get wrong about your submissions process?

A: Putting too many poems in one submission (our limit is 3 per email, 5 per submission period); sending us short fiction when we only publish poetry; sending us wildly inappropriate stuff that indicates they've not even read our guidelines, let alone read an issue.

Q: How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?

A: Lists of previous publication credits are completely unnecessary, but we appreciate a hello.
