Dear editors:
The changing of the year is difficult. I know. For the next few months, I'm double-checking every date I write too! But if your guidelines list an "upcoming" submission call as January 2023, writers wonder if that means 1) your publication is no longer functioning (sadly common), or 2) you are unstuck in time.

Dear confused writers:
Check their social media for recent posts about the submission calls, and good luck to us all!

Dear Editors,
Pretty PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep your submission guidelines up for reference, even if submissions are currently closed. Hide the submission link or the submission email address, by all means, but keep the deets!

Dear editor: Changing your submission page to black text on a black background is certainly a ... unique ... way to show that your publication is permanently closed, without actually saying so.

Dear editors who put out non-paid SF, fantasy, and horror, and who straight-up say they don't pay in their guidelines:

Good job. Seriously. You're doing great work, you're putting new stories into the world, and you're being a stand-up editor and communicating with your future contributors clearly. You aren't hiding behind "exposure" or not mentioning pay and hoping nobody notices. You're doing it right.

Dear Editor: Congratulations on your successful magazine Kickstarter! Now, your Kickstarter page is not the website for your ongoing publication. No, it really isn't. Social media platform [du jour] is ALSO not the best place to send people to get updates on your magazine! This is what a website that YOU actually run is for. You might also consider a newsletter...

Dear editors:
Running a Kickstarter to fund your project? Great!

Having the only open submission window BEFORE the Kickstarter funds, forcing authors to submit without any idea of if or how much they'll be getting paid if accepted? Bullshit!

I get that it's publicity. But at least spell out what will happen to submissions if the Kickstarter fails.

Hola. Me temo que es un aprendizaje de larga duracion. Y Vim tiene menos funcionalidades que Emacs (menos bugs tambien)
