Title: "Leading Edge" seeking submissions
Post by: GuJiaXian on April 16, 2003, 04:46:05 PM: "Leading Edge" Magazine is now actively soliciting manuscripts. We're a 22-year-old semi-pro magazine, concentrating on new talent in science fiction and fantasy.

We're looking for fiction (up to 17,000 words), genre poetry, and even non-fiction articles. We always welcome unsolicited manuscripts, and operate year-round.

For more information on where/how to submit, please visit http://tle.byu.edu or e-mail us at [email protected]. Writer's guidelines can be found at http://tle.byu.edu/wg.php.

Thanks, and we look forward to reading your manuscripts!

-Christopher Kugler
fiction director, "Leading Edge"

As another tidbit of info, both TLE and TWG websites were designed by Jeff Creer, who goes by "42" on these forums. As you can plainly tell, he's VERY good.

We had some server mishaps about two months ago, but we were only down for about 5 days. Then again, on the internet, 5 days is an eternity.

I've warned him and I don't expect anything at all to happen on the 23rd or any other day)

Ben, we did go offline for 4 or 5 days after the UUG mishap/ringamarole, but I got us set back up on a BYUSA server. Not sure that it's an improvement, though... :)
