Fun! Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about the prompt but I'd love to try to come up with a story. Ahhh! I have so much writing to do. Better get to work over the holidays :-D

Cool idea! Do you a minimum length for submissions?

Expand full comment

No min/max if posted on your own Substack. I’ll check the minimum for submissions. I think short stories and poetry had different reqs, too. One sec!

Sounds good, no problem!

No minimum word count on paid submissions. If accepted, I pay a flat rate of $10. Acceptance isn’t guaranteed.

Of course not! Just curious

Flat rate on submissions under 1000 words, I meant.
