Changes on the Horizon

Now that C. M. and I are satisfied with the look of the Pen Pricks site for now, we've decided to return our attention to Pen Pricks' submission periods. So it appears that we'll be reworking Pen Pricks' submission dates and already have an idea of the changes we would like to make. If we implement those changes, each issue of Pen Pricks will contain about 10-12 micro-tales instead of the current amount, which is about 30 micro-tales an issue.

Whatever changes we decide on won't take place until the submission period for the August issue, which will be July 1-15, 2008. To receive further updates or notification of the changes, please consider subscribing to Pen Pricks' mailing list. Thanks.

Obligations

Please don't ever feel like you need to submit dark 55 worders to Pen Pricks if dark fiction is not really what you enjoy writing. Don't feel obligated to send us dark fiction simply because dark fiction is one of the genres featured at Pen Pricks. We invite you to submit what you enjoy writing. Elizabeth and I will be happy to consider your submission, as always. And if you ever receive a refusal for any of your submissions, please don't be discouraged. Keep writing and submitting.
