* We have received approximately 600 submissions this month.
* The first 20 stories currently in the queue are being held for further consideration. There are 38 stories total in the queue at the moment.
* If your story is in that first 20, you likely won’t hear from us until sometime in May, depending on how quickly we conquer the slush pile after submissions close.
* Submissions will close late night on April 30 (no earlier than midnight PST and probably on early morning May 1.) Late subs will not be considered after that.
* We’ve responded to most submissions in under 48 hours, and many under 24. Send more stories!
