BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to pay our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium ($125/mo). Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But less than 1% of BCS readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/3

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

I don't like giving advice but I would have liked to hear this when I started submitting work.

Writers, you should never pay to submit to a magazine. Its insulting, devalues your work and reinforces the starving artist rhetoric.

You deserve to be paid for your art.
