Get rid of any fluff. \u00a0Be ruthless in your editing. \u00a0Distill it down to its essence and then distill it again. \u00a0Get to the point. \u00a0Get to the point, now.<\/p>\n

However you do it, whatever your style, we are interested in seeing your work. \u00a0If you have a story to tell, consider sending it to us. \u00a0We will publish the best on our website.<\/p>\n
We are also looking for short poetry and will even consider short plays for publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
