Hey all. Still open for fiction until (planned) December 1, but we're now closed to poetry submissions until (at least) January. I've updated the guidelines page to reflect this. We've got a full slate of poetry through issue 8 and more, along with some fun things which Dan hasn't announced. Also, if anyone has a poetry submission pending, that they should hear from Dan within 2 weeks. So: get writing! No need to rush. We'll be here when you're ready. -Sam

Three bits of local author news.

Three bits of local author news, in order of when I heard about them: Dan Campbell, Michael Jasper, and Richard Dansky.
- Dan Campbell's short story "Where Sea and Sky Kiss" was published this morning at Daily Science Fiction. Sent to e-mail subscribers, it will later be posted online, and finally be part of their monthly Kindle edition. I had a chance to read it and if you're a fan of Dan's, well, you won't be disappointed at all. I don't want to give anything away, and I don't have time to figure out
