Ever since Redivider switched from print to online, their website has been unreliable - either completely down without even a landing page to say they're redoing the website (and so only saying this on social media) or not updated or silence. It does seem to be much worse/quieter (or, silent) since their recent-ish website upgrade though, which only lasted a few months before it was back to not being there, and does feel like they've disappeared... :(
From memory their website wasn't even working during the Blurred Genres contest last year, which made me feel very weird about it all - at least have a landing page, people! - and their profile link has been directly to their submittable for maybe a year, at least? It's all weird.
Okay, two new weirdnesses! The Redivider website now sends you to a website for Hobbycate WHICH seems to include some content from the Redivider website but otherwise is... hobbies.
And someone just tweeted a celebration because they just received an acceptance from Redivider. Which is even more confusing.
Becky, your energy is fabulous! Thanks for creating community.
Aw, thank you, Karen. And thanks for being part of this community!
Love it Becky! Yours is the newsletter I read first! Always informative and packed with useful advice.
Thank you, Reena!

Thanks for this info, Paula. How odd. I only just noticed this yesterday. I'll take a deeper look & try to figure out what's going on here.

Wow. That is weird indeed. Thanks for this.

Indeed, Duotrope lists them as "DNQ." Too bad. I liked their work (and had submitted more than a few of my clients' work to them). Alas...
