In the ruinous wake, Levin resembled the proverbial hedgehog, the one who climbs off the hairbrush while sheepishly muttering, “We all make mistakes.” At the height of the dot-com bubble in 2000, he tried to combine Time Warner, of which HBO was a subsidiary, with Steve Case’s already sinking AOL. Finding new voices that deserve to be heard is one of the greatest pleasures of being an editor getting to promote and be a home for those voices is even better.Levin, of course, would become the architect of the most ill-judged merger in media history. I'm looking forward to reading each manuscript. Have you read Opal C McCarthy's pamphlet Surge? Sarah Vap's End of the Sentimental Journey?

We don't want to keep your book in a holding pattern.
We don't plan to sit on manuscripts long, but we do know placing a book is a long and difficult process. :: We encourage you to simultaneously submit. :: There are no page limits, though do know we aren't a chapbook publisher. :: Publication will come with a standard contract. :: Because this is an open reading period, it is not guaranteed that we will publish anything from these submissions it also could mean more than one manuscript will be selected for publication. You can include any personal information on the ms. We have a fee-free option the first week of our reading period. The donation is important to us to be able to establish print runs, but we know what it's like to not be able to pony up the fee for contests. There is no formal reading fee, though you've happened upon the page that allows for donations.

December 1-January 30: $25 donation periodįeel free to visit our Facebook page, our Twitter page, or Instagram to keep up with the happenings. December 1-7*: fee-free open reading period Winter (December & January): Poetry & Hybrid Manuscripts

Please don't take a fee-free spot when you could afford to donate to the press and let that money go towards the production of the next book.

We write this because we take our work seriously, and we are a volunteer-run operation. We know this can be expensive and cost prohibitive for many. Please note that the fee-free option is meant for those who cannot afford to pay the reading fee-it is there for students, those with low-income, adjuncts, and everyone else who simply doesn't have the money available.
