Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Short and sweet. We are influenced by the work itself, not the letters, but it is good to include a short bio in case we select your work.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We are looking for prose styles with distinct voices, writers who revel in the language, touches of un-silly humor, and work that has a sense of the changing social world around us, as well as compassionate insight.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Please be patient.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
In my third month as editor, we were contacted by an agent interested in representing one of our authors. It's a thrill to know that you can make a difference in writers' paths.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Someone fascinated with the dramas unfolding in the human world and in the beauty and acrobatics of the English language.
