Dear Tilters -

Our first open reading period is now officially closed. Nicole and I will be making final decisions within the next few weeks. The number of manuscripts along with the quality of work we received exceeded all of our expectations! We are thrilled with the chance to publish such wonderful writing and the final selection process will be tough.

Please stay tuned!

TY!
