Also, you can snail-mail us anytime but keep in mind our editors' reading periods are Feb-Mar and Sept-Oct. If you submit in April or November you might not hear for a long time, unless our EIC gets some free time to clear the decks. (If he likes it, he'll save it for the next reading period)
Hello, a couple of notes about submissions! First, we are getting a lot of snail-mail subs without SASE included, and also a lot of emails asking why we haven't responded to subs sent last year. These are correlated! We really need the SASE or a stamped postcard if you want a response.

We have reached our paid submissions cap for issue 74.1! The free weekend, however, is still to come. I wonder if it will be the weekend soon. I wonder if that will be the one...
We are just shy of 100 subs away from our cap...this is the fastest we've ever experienced. If you want to submit for 74.1, today's the day...or you could check back to see if next weekend is the free weekend!
We are already more than halfway to our cap for this cycle, so if you have something for us, send it along! The free weekend (coming soon...maybe?) has its own separate cap, so, don't worry that you might miss it. Although that will also fill up fast...
Got a new story coming out in the great @epochliterary.com

I wrote this when my twins were 4 months old, writing with with a blanket over the computer screen to keep the room dark while they slept. Thanks so much to @epochliterary.com for picking up this story.

...and here's a new craft piece from assistant poetry editor Samantha Samakande. "If listlessness or boredom threatens to make a meal of you, stare into its dank, gaping mouth, and even if it means letting it have its course."
Two new posts up on the blog today, as we prepare for our August submission period! First, assistant fiction editor Fia Zhang Swanson interviews novelist Banana Yoshimoto. "Writing novels is neither fun nor therapy for me."
