We
are temporarily suspending our year-round submission
reading due to a great flood of submissions.
We
are working on the next print issue, the current
book contest entries, and the new current contests.
Please
check back in a few months for updates!
Because
we are an all volunteer staff, and because we receive sometimes
hundreds of submissions each
month, it is not really feasible for us to track down answers
and respond to individual inquiries about the status of
your
submission. It would actually take a lot of energy and time
away from reading the submissions. Please rest assured
that
we all read the submissions with care and attention, and
it is a very labor-intensive task. Your patience with the
process
is greatly appreciated.
If
your work is accepted elsewhere, we do keep a file of letters
and e-mails saying that work is being withdrawn because it has
been accepted elsewhere. Thanks.
