Tips From the Editor
Absolutely no AI/LLM anything, ever.
We value:
- Great writing (attention to sentence construction, an awareness of the poetry inherent in prose)
- Vivid settings that influence and engage the plot and character arcs
- Revelations of the self and the world we live in
- Sensitivity and alertness to the significant issues of our times
- Escapism
- Endings that are not punchlines
