CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SUMMER 2009 THEMED ISSUE, "THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT":
Starting in January 2009 we will be seeking submissions of poetry, fiction, & creative non-fiction for our next themed issue, The Long and Short of It, featuring short prose (1000 words or less) and long poems (3 pages or longer). Please send 1-3 stories or 1 poem, and mark your submission "themed issue." We're trying to shake up the genres a little bit and publish some pieces a "normal" journal might not accept, so send us what you got and please tell your friends. The issue is scheduled for release in Summer 2009.
