Shimmery Update

New content! I’ve posted a new audio file in our Reader’s Bonus section. Ken Scholes reads his story Action Team-Ups Number Thirty Seven, the first story in our Winter 2006 issue. If you’ve purchased a copy of the Winter 2006 issue, check it out! (And if you haven’t – why not? We still have a few print copies left, and the electronic edition is always available.)

The Winter Issue is at the printer’s now. We expect to be able to put copies in the mail the first week in May. We’ll be posting the table of contents and cover art shortly – stay tuned!

Norwescon Beth is going to be at Norwescon this weekend (April 13-16). If you’re there, please introduce yourself!

Submissions Thanks to everyone who has submitted their work to us recently – reading the stories sent to us is my favorite part of this gig.

We are chock full of fairy tale retellings right now – the odds of us accepting any more are not very good. Your fairy tale retellings will probably be more successful if you send them to us this fall, when we are not so glutted.

On the subject of retellings, we are most interested the retellings that bring new twists to familiar tales. Don’t just bring the original to life – change it. Warp it in your own way. Do something special with it.

Keep the submissions coming!
