All right, tomorrow is the first submission date. Excited? So am I.
I'd just to point out a few things about submitting.
First of all, before you can submit a work, you have to be on the
email list. If you don't and you just feel like sending every on the list your piece anyways, or spam, we certainly won't read your stuff. No freeloading.
Secondly, the two submission dates are the 1st and the 15th of the month. The date that is yours should be on the aforementioned email list. As of right now, please only submit the work only on your submission date, not any earlier.
Third, when you are sending out your email, make sure you use these content tags:
Language,
Drug Use,
Violence, or
Sexual Content if necessary. I don't expect there to be any problems with content (we'll see), but this way, no one is surprised.
Fourth, adhere to the
Rules for formatting restrictions. Basically, don't send an entire novel in a submission, but other than that, don't worry about length too much--just do what feels right. Make it double spaced or 1.5 spaced (not single spaced), black text (no need to be fancy), 12pt font, and a legible font style like Times New Roman or Courier New. Remember to save the file as .doc or .rtf so everyone can read it.
And finally, once you've sent your work to everyone on the email list, make sure you post a new topic on the RE forum so we can discuss it!
The above is subject to change if the December submissions go awry, but I think we are pretty well set right now.
Have fun, and I look forward to reading all of your stuff!
