Thanks....I try to keep them simple. And I purposely put the sub email at the very end to encourage reading through them... And, I think it may be mentioned twice that by submitting you agree to the guidelines... So, it behooves everyone to read them... And I know what you mean about some lit mags - which is exactly why I tried to keep mine as simple as possible...lol
Nothing to be sorry about as far as holding people to the guidelines. It’s a massive undertaking taking on piles of stories; it’s even more difficult if people send work willy-nilly and eat up more of your time unnecessarily. You’re 100% doing the right thing for you and the magazine. 👍
I try my best to follow along. My learning impairment sometimes hinders me a little. So I am sorry if have done anything out of the ordinary or the norm. I hope I made the criteria correctly for my holiday anthology submission. Did you happen to recieve mine as well?
Hi just wondering if you received my submission for the Holiday anthology, thanks!
Yes, I received it..
I think the guidelines and scope you provide for both MM and KMQ are super-clear and easy to follow, Gail. Unlike some other mags I could mention...

I don't see any problem with making clear guidelines and letting people know that disregarding them is a non-starter for the submission.
I do wish there was uniformity among magazines to make it simpler to remember.

You're fine....and yes, I received it ... I'll be starting to make decisions in the next couple weeks! 🙂
