Anticipated Results Announcement (and blogging)

I'm starting to get questions on when we'll announce winners. Bottom line is that I hope to have the final 50 poems announced in the first weeks of August. Might be a little sooner; might be a little later. There are a lot of variables like the guest editor's time and availability, mail delays, verifying the final results--which all make it hard to give you a firm deadline. We stopped taking entries June 1, and if we email results by the first or second week in August, that's a pretty quick turnaround by litmag & contest standards, though I realize it won't feel as quick on your end of the process. We're doing what we can to finish it up as soon as possible.

This blog space is certainly faster than the old system, but I now realize it makes you sign on to provide comments. Sorry about that. Will look into a workaround. Did not mean to make it harder for non-Gmail users to post.

  1. It is a very quick turnaround...I've had submissions tied up for several years at one or two publications, that I will not name here.

  2. Are you notifying people by mail if we submitted via manuscript hub as well?

  3. You can change the settings so that annonymous posters can still post.
