Update Time ...

Hey Everyone! Hope this newsletter finds you all well!

Just wanted to give some updates…

Another reminder that KissMet Quarterly is open for submissions for its Summer Issue until May 15…

Guidelines can be found under the Kissmet Quarterly tab on Micromance's Substack page…

We've already received submissions and they're pretty impressive. Remember, no cap on the # of contributors for this issue .. so get your summer meet cute to us soon!

I'm still aiming for a May release for the Spring Issue of KissMet… with the Summer issue tentatively set forca July release..

Some may be wondering about the poetry anthology, Naked Taunts. Well, thanks to the amazing and diligent Elise Gilmore (a regular MM contributor and awesome supporter), who has helped immensely in formatting and editing the poetry into book form, we are looking at a mid May release!! Finally!!

So a big shout out to Elise for helping get caught up!!

Some more big news…

I received a notification from Substack that Micromance is the 29th fastest growing publication on Substack in the fiction category!!

So thank YOU… all of you … for reading, submitting, sharing and subscribing!!

I received another paid subscription (donation) and want that person to know how much I appreciate that! When someone upgrades from a free sub to a paid one, it is basically a donation to MM, and the funds are used as needed for promotional items like stickers, for the postage on sending those items out (allowing free shipping to the receiver), for promoting books, for purchasing software or subscriptions to apps that help me do my job as graphic designer and EIC a little easier, etc etc. I don't actively “solicit” for paid subscriptions, but know I do greatly appreciate them and if you do love what we do here, and you're able, please consider a paid subscription - I still have plans to run some contests with cash prizes and I'd love if they could be fee free… or if you’re a fan of a particular writer, let me know who and a portion of your donation (20%) will be shared with them! How's that sound? 😄

Alrighty, thanks for another great chat … hope you all have a great upcoming weekend, and to those who celebrate, Happy Easter!

Thanks again for all your support!

Gail Lynn, EIC 🥰
