WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW

If you are consulting this blog to figure out what's going on right now, please log off your computer and re-evaluate your life. And after you are done, know this:

We are currently seeking fiction and poetry manuscripts, please follow guidelines.

Our current plan is to publish 2-3 titles a year, beginning in Winter/Spring 2009. Our first publication will be chosen carefully (as will they all), most likely with the assistance of a guest author choosing a manuscript from a handful of our favorites. Perhaps a contest without the title. When the guest author is chosen we will let you know.

That's all for now. Stop reading. Submit already. We look forward to reading your work.
