Wow! So cool

You should offer money or accept reprints. No reprints and no money means that you are publishing your friends or nobodies because actual writers don't want to submit.

I had the pleasure of being featured in Weird Lit’s 2nd issue, and the care and handling by the team was first rate. (Hi Fawn!) If you have a story that you love but that makes you go, "Who's going to want THIS?"--I highly recommend this magazine.

Thanks for helping me discover Black Fox Literary. I've read several of the poems and two of the fiction pieces, and I feel richer for it.

Thank you so much for this much needed newsletter. When I go to barnes and noble, I look at the lit magazines but it's a little overwhelming. Thank you again.

Too bad most of these places are no-pay or token pay. THey look promising.

I sent a number of submissions to Del Sol Review and NEVER got a response. NEVER. I added them to my S--t List years ago.
