Editorial Focus

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.
