Congrats! Looks to be a great issue!

Looks like a great issue! Congrats on the great publication :-D

There are a few authors in there that I know and have worked with. All very talented folks (yourself included, of course)!

We had a bit over that (around 600) for our first issue. It can be overwhelming, but also really cool to have all the interest. Did you do anything different with this submission call than you usually do?

We do love shire vibes, but we'd be interested in publishing stories featuring other non-modern settings. I'm often less steeped in the folklore influencing stories of other places and as such sometimes miss some nuance. We'd love to hear from you and are always interested in great cozy fantasy.

We're open until the end of the month. Send us witches/hermits, village festivals, butterflies in the stomach & the holding of hands. Sell us warm veggie soup/hot tea on a cold night, folks coming together, old friends finding each other again, or anything that makes you feel warm and nice.

There has been. Not sure why. Sadly, bsky doesn't seem to let you edit posts like mastodon. Not sure why it didn't work.
