A weblog from the editors of Linebreak

The regulars

Reminder: Three days left to submit to AGNI

For all you poets and writers out there, only three days remain before AGNI’s summer hiatus begins on June 1st. If you plan to submit before the fall, do it now. (Unless you’re a subscriber, in which case you’re allowed to send submissions through snail mail throughout the year.)

Slowbreak

As Johnathon mentioned, the new Linebreak submission manager is now functional. We currently have a huge backlog of submissions, and while typically we have managed to respond to submissions within 30 days, we’re running a little behind schedule right now.  If you haven’t heard back from us after 2 months, feel free to give us a little nudge.

Summer submissions

Just a reminder: Linebreak’s tireless editors consider submissions throughout the year, so don’t be strangers this summer. Submissions should be uploaded through our new submissions manager. Our email address for submissions has been retired.

The submissions manager, by the way, is our own creation, and something we’d like to share with other literary journals. If you’d like to try it for your own publication, email me at jw@linebreak.org.

For those of you who didn’t notice

Linebreak is updated.

Thanks to Maureen Alsop for the poem, and to Adam Clay for the reading.

Submissions remain welcome at submissions@linebreak.org. Guidelines are available on the about page.
