I got a 2200 on the SAT and I took it once. Don't worry honey; I can math too. Kenning journal - we are open for submissions but this will be our last issue. I've also run their blog for three years.
I'm sure you can, but I just really couldn't resist that little opening. Besides, for all I know, that could mean a 600 on Math. It's a shame your closing down. I like a lot of the stuff on your website, more than pretty much any other magazine I've found. Beloit Poetry Journal may win, but not by much. I really liked that Mandel piece. Even the website looks sharp and works well. You guys have a good eye.
Thanks. I'm pretty flattered by that. It has been really hard work to keep it going, unfortunately a big hurdle is that no one is very tech savvy and also our most influential editor has basically no time. Plus sometimes messes up our submissions manager. I do like our layout though. I just wish Wordpress in general was easier to wrangle. I love and admire Beloit. I have a few other personal favorites; Neon, Radar, FLAPPERHOUSE (disclaimer: they did take some poetry so I have a bias, but they're probably my favorite magazine I've been published in, or among them), Blackbird which is run out of VCU, trying to remember what else but running dry off the top of my head. If you don't use/aren't aware of the website Duotrope, I recommend you check it out. Yes, you have to pay, but I consider it worth it. Well worth it. Duotrope is the website I think of whenever discussions about "Should hubski charge/have a fee/whatever" come up, because in my mind Duotrope provides an amazing, comprehensive service I can't get anywhere else and I pay gladly every month with no problem. Hell, check out the free trial and if you like it, I'll buy you a month. It's a great resource for finding lit mags to read and submit to and also really helps just - the pain of the submissions process.
Whether naturally gifted of not, you guys have managed to put together a more navigstable website than some big journals (I hate the Poetry site) and most of the colleges I've been looking at lately. WordPress seems to work better for blogs, when they tried to expand and make it work for full sites, they lost some usability. I will have to look at those magazines. I enjoy Blackbird, and I've submitted there before. Thanks a lot for the offer and all the suggestions and advice, I've seen Duotrope mentioned before, and it seems like a great resource. I may be remembering wrong, but I think I've used a list of magazines they put out for free before.
