Additional info

Starting with issue #18, we will be featuring exactly twelve writers in each issue. The submission window stays open until we have found “the twelve,” then swiftly closes. If your work is accepted for publication, you will be expected to participate in the creation of an otis, to be published in the issue. This is simply a quick, fun writing game that we think you’ll enjoy and that will help bind the issue together.
