Tips From the Editor
We value:
- Great writing (attention to sentence construction, an awareness of the poetry inherent in prose).
- Vivid settings that influence and engage the plot and character arcs.
- Revelations of the self and the world we live in.
- Sensitivity and alertness to the significant issues of our times.
- Escapism.
- Endings that are not punchlines.
