Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Be concise and professional. Include a bio of about fifty words to accompany your story/poem, if accepted. Be sure to include word count.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Artistic but expert use of English. I prefer traditional manuscript formats like Shunn. Professionalism & creativity are critical. I like powerful, poignant works that are memorable & make an intellectual & an emotional connection with the reader.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Be professional and concise. Get straight to the point. Editors read A LOT and don't have time for anything unnecessary. Know the traditional ways of doing things (e.g. manuscript format) before being creative.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
No, not really.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Someone who praises my intellect, looks, and masculinity and sends large donations. :) Just joking, of course. Seriously, my ideal reader is anyone who reads every story and poem in every issue and provides constructive criticism in the comments.
