Progress update

We're getting the slushpile reading done for Issue 19, which posts on November 20th. The poetry submissions are read through and I'll be able to contact the poets who will be published soon. I expect the story readings to be completed the last week of the month.

We're not able to do a special staff-contributed Halloween issue this year, but I do have an idea for a special issue. As soon as I hear from two contacts, I'll be able to know if I can publish something.

Note: If you've sent any submissions to us after September 30th, they will be kept for consideration in the next regular issue that's due to post May 20, 2009. If you wish for it to be pulled, please feel free to let me know. We will not read for that issue until April.
