Couples who’ve escaped from it, couples desperate to get in. Couples who may not be couples at all, or if they are, they’re certainly very weird: Narcissus and his reflection, God and the Virgin Mary, Eija-Riitter Berliner-Mauer (who fell in love with the Berlin Wall, but when it got torn down started dating a garden fence)… Or male and female in one – what could be weirder than that? Do you know the Potter Angelfish? It starts life as a female, then switches over to male – a handy technique used by Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, though in the opposite direction.GD Deckard, Editor on 06 February 2020What do submitters most often get wrong about your submissions process?Failure to read and understand the submission guidelines.GD Deckard, Editor on 06 February 2020How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?A normal "Author Bio" blurb is sufficient.

Initial readings to pick out the best pieces. Then, working with the authors to get the works edited.GD Deckard, Editor on 06 February 2020What is a day in the life of an editor like for you?Morning coffee on the lanai while reading or editing submissions. Email exchanges with the authors and other editors. More coffee, some video gaming, and an evening with my Lady.GD Deckard, Editor on 06 February 2020How much do you edit an accepted piece prior to publication?Some, but if extensive work is required, and if we're interested enough in the submitted work, we'll send it back to the author to fix.GD Deckard, Editor on 06 February 2020Do you nominate work you've published for any national or international awards?We do sometimes publish an anthology of "the best" stories that previously appeared.GD Deckard, Editor on 06 February 2020 Cookie Consent: This site uses secure first-party cookies for essential, preference-setting, and statistical purposes.
