Welcome to the December issue. This month we've got some works that would probably be considered a little more "experimental" than what we normally publish. Hope you like them.
We really need quality submissions for this zine. As a little bit of advice, SF always has the best chance. We do publish quite a bit of fantasy, but it can be a harder sell, and epic fantasy is even harder. Most importantly, we DO NOT publish horror...so please don't send it...We'll just reject it.
