After Dinner Conversation
@AfterDinnerConOct 13
We rarely post on social media calls for submissions because (1) we never close for submissions (2) we get plenty of submissions. But, we thought, why not, let's remind people we are (1) free to submit to and (2) pay $75/short story. #litmag #fiction buff.ly/K79OL9S
