And…we’re open!

Attention: We are now closed to poetry submissions. Any poems sent into us after today, 2/10, WILL NOT BE READ. Thanks to everyone who submitted and our poetry editor, Linda Addison, wants you to know she is in reading mode right now. Please stay tuned for acceptances or regrets.
On the other hand, we will be reopening for fiction submissions the end of February (week of 2/21). Please don’t send us a thing until the formal announcement goes up, though, or it will be rejected out-of-hand. Make sure you read our guidelines on the Submissions page, too.
FYI, we’re going to do things a bit differently in 2010. We’re going to open to submissions for shorter periods of time, roughly a month at a go. BUT we will be opening more than once a year, probably more like two-three times/year. This will make it easier for our editors to read and respond to your submissions within a shorter amount of time, so you won’t have to wait too long to learn the status of your story.
