Additional info
Estimated Resolution Time: 30 days after end of submission window. If you have not received a response by then, feel free to follow the instructions for querying in the section below. We will send initial responses to stories as we read them, which will either be hold notices or rejections. Hold notices will be kept until after the slush window to winnow down to the final selection. Anonymity: All identifying information should be removed from your manuscript prior to submission. This allows our first readers to judge stories anonymously. Please don’t include any personal information in the title field, the story itself, or the Notes For the Editor boxes. Your story will not be disqualified if you forget to anonymize your submission, but please do your best.
