SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
SUBMISSIONS FOR ISSUE 3 ARE CLOSED. Issue 3 is available for purchase NOW. I think it's a damned enjoyable batch of stories (that is, both the stories and their authors are probably both damned and enjoyable). This issue may be the grim issue so far, or the noirest issue we've done yet, or anyway the one with the least humor, which was certainly not intended in advance. These were just the best stories we got. There also aren't any women writers this issue, which I hope doesn't discourage women from sending us their stories; to a large degree Swill was started because I wanted to publish Delphine LeCompte, and I think Swill needed her a lot more than she needed Swill. Luckily for us she and other fine writers were happy to be a part of our magazine. And anyone we'd publish is presumably tough enough to carry the stigma of being a Swill writer.
We will resume reading in September. Thanks to all for writing, reading, and, most of all, for just being you.
Oh, and when you do sub, we like attachments as .doc or .rtf files. And we especially dislike that horrid new Office 07 version of Word, so if you've been suckered into buying it, please save your file in a different format before sending it to us, or we'll have to borrow someone else's computer to open the damn thing. Fuck Microsoft.
Excelsior!
