Our Pushcart Prize nominations. @ivvvvaelliott @PintsNCupcakes @kiddeternity @ToltzisAlan @crm_writes @what_really_no

Working through the subs. Coronavirus got me this week so I'm a little, um, behind.

Forgot how hard it was to stay caught up on submissions!

1.) I'm loving that I see a lot of names in our submissions inbox that submitted before, and despite the rejection they are still submitting and they haven't stopped writing. 2.) Keep the submissions coming.

Submissions in our inbox! Submissions in our inbox!

Likely Red Magazine (Fiction: $0 Poetry: $0 Nonfiction: $0) opened to submissions. https://t.co/yn8IhNGEro #amwriting

Also - we never really talked about it, but the color RED in our title was never political. I (me = Eric the editor) am gay and a Democrat. Red referred to the fact that I chose to go to the University of Louisville instead of University of Kentucky. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm not good with titles.

An Update

Thanks for the submissions! Keep them coming! We're open for fiction and creative nonfiction subs of up to 4,000 words, and poetry up to 100 lines.

We opened our inbox to some submissions! Very exciting! **reads**

Submit via email found here:

Okay, the website is fixed for at least a year. 2019 was rough. 2020 is not going get me down! We're no longer a paying market but we're open to submissions via email. Let's play this by ear. If I don't hear anything I'll just move on with my life?

And I'm so behind. Ugh.

I dunno if anyone tried to email the editor over the last month but if you did we probably didnt get the email. But we should now.

So, I tried to work a job job and do my creative stuff and keep the lit mag going, but it wasnt working. Now the lit mag is broken and I dunno how to fix it. I let the job-job go the other day. The hosting is fixed, and the editor email should be working again.

So, long story short, I was having a domain nameserver problem. The good news is, I've pushed all the buttons and gotten things sorted out. It will still take a a day or so for the website to kick itself back into gear. Apologies for the delays and downtime.

New poem incoming...

Some things: I started a "full time job" last week so that I could "eat" and I spent a week adjusting to a new "schedule." I am better now. I will push the proper lit mag buttons this weekend and catch up on things and get us going again. Thanks for your patience.
