We hate to do this, but our baby is due on October 31, right in the sweet spot of when we should be reading submissions... so issue #9 won't be open to unsolicited submissions. We're going invite-only just this once. Sorry, guys! We like having open reading periods, because it's a chance to discover cool new weird stuff by writers we don't know, and we plan to go back to open submissions for issue #10, but we just plain don't have time to read hundreds of stories right now. A newborn baby in the house is what you might call a time sink (of the best kind), and we'll be lucky to get the next issue out on time anyway. Forgive us!
