Coronavirus Special!
I’ve received many positive comments about issue #1, thank you! Now, since many of us unexpectedly have some free time on our hands, I’m putting together an interim edition, rather than wait for issue #2 in the spring. So, OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: short stories, essays, articles, research topics, photography, poetry, reviews, interviews, top ten, any other ideas…if I like it, I’ll print it!
Submissions to: editor.shorts @gmail.com as soon as you like.
