Another Update

Hello, everybody!  It's been a long time...  I have so much going on now, with school and college applications, that I feel I can no longer give this the time it deserves.  For now, I will be closing this blog.  Maybe, sometime in the future, I will start it up again.  As of currently, however, I'm trying to get some of my own work published and can no longer run this editorial.

I am very sorry.  Thank you to all who submitted!  I really appreciate it and loved going over your stories/poems/artwork.

Sincerely,

Editor

Update

Due to activity going on and other things that I'm busy with, I will be taking a break from this editorial for a while.  My schedule for the end of this month and in June is a little overwhelming, so I will probably not get anything up until July.  However, please keep submitting!  I will put your stories aside and use them in the next publication if I see fit.

Thank you very much,
Jackie Falcon.

Wunderkammer

The second issue of There and Back Again is now up!

CLICK HERE

Second Issue

Now OPEN for submissions regarding the theme "Wunderkammer".  The issue should be out by next week, so hurry!
Genre: Medieval Fantasy/Steampunk/anything Whimsical or Fantastical
Will NOT accept horror, gothic, or supernatural.  No "dark" stories, poems, or artwork.
Defined in the dictionary, wunderkammer means "a place where a collection of curiosities and rarities is exhibited".  That is exactly what I want: stories of the curious and rare nature.  Anything that is quirky and strange--think Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.  Twists, endless staircases, a child with an imaginary friend, a boy who never grew up...a raven and a writing desk.
Artwork: I want quirky pictures that don't really explain what they are--think strange like a staircase with hands, a mad hatter sipping tea, talking candlesticks...you get the idea.
Look under "Submissions" on the top for contact information.
