From the Editors
Can you believe that this month closes out our tenth year of publication? In online magazine terms, that’s nearly forever. Once upon a time, we said, “Let’s set a goal of making it to five years.” Now we’ve doubled that. What’s next? Watch for news about how we’re going to celebrate this major milestone…
For Readers
Did you know that August 19th is Honey Bee Day? We’ll be featuring Michele Baron‘s story “oh bee city”.
For Writers
We’re still running a little bit over our target maximum response time — Submittable is so popular with writers that it seems to have increased our average daily submissions by about 30%! We’re working to clear outstanding submissions as fast as we can. Thanks for your patience.
Here are the stories you’ll be enjoying this month:
