Slowly the first deadline approaches. You still have until the end of march to send in your work, if you want to have a chance of being included in the premiere issue. Everything that is submitted after that will automatically be considered for the second issue of The Ashen Eye.
We’ve received a staggering amount of submissions, but unfortunately can only publish so many of them per issue. Because we don’t want to outright reject all submissions that didn’t get accepted in a given period, we’ve decided to give a number of submissions a second chance. If your work did not get accepted or rejected during the reading period for a particular issue, your submission will automatically move up and be considered for the next one.
We will of course notify the respective authors when this applies and they can choose to either wait and be considered for the next issue or retract their submission if they don’t wish to wait.
To keep everyone up to date on what’s happening, here’s the count so far:
Fiction: 8 works accepted – 2 to 7 slots remaining depending on length.
Poetry: 6 works accepted – 4 to 6 slots remaining depending on length.
We’ve also found our feature/cover artist of the premiere issue. When everything has been made official we will, as usual, gradually announce and feature information about the contributors on our website.
A big thanks to everyone that already has submitted. Without you, small presses like ours wouldn’t exist. Keep it up!
