Automata Review Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About Our mission: to publish work that simultaneously rethinks and forgets genre. Work that makes us think and feel in equal and long-lasting measure. Work that makes promises. Work that surprises. We plan to publish one new piece per month, and we'd love to hear from you. If you’ve got something as emotionally compelling as it is off-the-beaten-path weird, send it our way.
