Story Acceptance Process

Stories submitted should have at least basic editing completed. We will assign a copy editor to proof your story, but the assigned copy editor may send you the story back if it has a lot lazy errors that are easy-to-fix edits that should have been caught in basic editing.
Based upon the editing needed, either by you or a copy editor, it may take 1 - 3 weeks for your story to be readied for inclusion. The length of this process may also cause your story to be pushed back to a later edition.
