We will read full-length manuscripts in October 2008. Details are forthcoming. In the meantime, you might let us get to know you by clicking here and purchasing some of our lovely books.
Submissions to the journal
We are in the process of reading and responding to submissions to the Fall 08 Print Issue and hope to send out all notifications by the end of August.
We are currently open to submissions of reviews only (see below); we are not currently accepting poetry, prose, or "other."
Until we read submissions again (Spring 09), you might let us get to know you by clicking here and purchasing the Fall/Winter 07 issue of our journal or any one of our lovely books.
