Tips From the Editor

Smart, funny, fabulist, diverse, and politically-tuned prose featuring mostly West Coast writers. Sincere realism okay. Memoirs and novellas okay. No genre fiction; experimental and avant-garde okay. We love gorgeous sentences, big ideas, meaningful satire, and over-the-top dialog. Okay?  Auto fiction also good but with low emissions and high mpgs. Please read an issue before submitting. A self-addressed, stamped envelope must, of course, accompany submissions. SMR does not accept email or online submissions, thank you.
