I’m excited to announce that I will be the guest editor at SmokeLong Quarterly for the week of 1/9-1/15/2012. Hope you will please consider submitting your work during that week. I promise I will read it with great care.
ETA: if you submit before 1/9, I won’t be able to read it. So if you’d like to submit during my time there, please wait until 1/9. Thank you!

Myfanwy, please excuse my ignorance– what kind of writing are you looking for?
Hiya! It’s for flash fiction. I will look for something that works with the SmokeLong aesthetic. So if you nose around on the site and read some of the pieces, you should be able to get a good idea. Hope you will submit some work.
Hi Myfanwy,
The Smokelong Q’ly editorial staff passed along your feedback on my submission Baby Crazy. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my piece. I always find the best submission experiences are the ones where I get to interact with the editor. Since I couldn’t reply to you there, I’m leaving my comment here: Thank You!
I will read your upcoming selections with great interest.
All the best,
Carol
P.S. Please delete my previous incomplete comment, thanks.
Hi Carol,
My pleasure! It was such a tough, tough choice. The whole batch of submissions I read (78 in total) were exceptionally high quality. Thank you, again, for submitting. And thank you for following up with me here. That was extremely gracious of you. Best, Myf
It’s my pleasure and it was the least I could do.
Thanks again, and I hope you had fun this week. Yes, the choices are always tough, but when all the pieces you select click together it makes it all worth while.

Agreed! Was especially hard because I only got to choose one piece from all of them. So glad you submitted. Thanks again!
Wow, really? That surprises me. And selecting one piece out of 78 has got to be torture.
I don’t have insight on how they set things up with guest editors. I assumed (always a dangerous idea) that the guest editor selected the final pieces to go into the issue.
On a separate note, you’re so kind to follow my blog…it made me blush! I’ve followed you back, of course.
Here’s to meeting over the ether…
Best,
C
Hi Myfanwy,
I also came here to thank you for your kind comments on my story. And I will definitely think about your revision suggestion; it was wonderful to get such helpful feedback.
Warm regards,
Leslie
How kind of you, Leslie! Thank you for letting me know my feedback was helpful. I appreciate it. Best wishes, Myfanwy
