Thanks to all the writers and poets who have sent us their work. The team of editors will now begin reading everything, and recommending the stories and poems for purchase.

We try to include a brief critique, or at least provide the reasons why the story or poem won’t work for us. Don’t take it personally! Just send the work to the next market on your list and best of luck to you.

And PLEASE don’t clutter up our email in-box with responses to the editors.  We are all writers, so we know the sting of rejection, but Rule #1 is NEVER respond in anger to a rejection of your work. Just accept that the magazine is not prepared to publish it, and move on. Editors have a long memory, and we still tell stories about the writer who called us “morons” and accused us of setting Science Fiction back 50 years.

If, as one writer already has, you happen to sell your work to another market before we have had a chance to see it, please let us know, and we will congratulate you and remove the work from the reading queue.
