Short, concise and funny helps. We really don't care how often a person has been published before or how big the publication was.Eric Luthi, Editor on 08 January 2024Describe the ideal submission.We love short works. This would be something that gets to the point quickly. A story that drags is easily dismissed.Eric Luthi, Editor on 08 January 2024How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?We don't care about previous submissions. Short cover letters are preferable. Bios should be two or three sentences, max. In fact, someone should do seminary or lecture at a writer's conference about how to write bios for magazines.Eric Luthi, Editor on 08 January 2024If you publish writing, how much of a piece do you read before making the decision to reject it?Most are read to the end. That being said, we can sometimes tell very quickly if a piece will not be accepted.Eric Luthi, Editor on 08 January 2024How much do you edit an accepted piece prior to publication?Very little. We expect each piece to be edited and revised by the author. We will fix obvious typos or mispellings, but that's about it.Eric Luthi, Editor on 08 January 2024Do you nominate work you've published for any national or international awards?We have not yet, but are open to do so. We do publish some very fine writers.Eric Luthi, Editor on 08 January 2024 Cookie Consent: This site uses secure first-party cookies for essential, preference-setting, and statistical purposes.
