Now available: Acclaimed new releases

...

Congratulations to all those whose work is scheduled to appear in the inaugural print edition of Able Muse. It will include a handful of you who heeded the call for submissions here on the Sphere, Facebook and elsewhere.

I'm hoping for a release later this month or at the latest, earlier part of next month. Well, you'll know when your contributor copy does arrive. And here's where I encourage everyone to subscribe to our print edition at the Able Muse Press website - http://www.ablemusepress.com/...

This is a progress report for those of you who all who submitted late, or early, and are still waiting for a decision for inclusion in the inaugural print issue of Able Muse.

First, the last-minute flurry of quality poetry submissions for the inaugural issue in response to the last-minute call for (additional) submission is much appreciated. We're now considering them (as well as several others that came in much earlier and throughout the submission period for the new issue). ...

Thanks, everyone who submitted in response of the call for submission, especially, Eratosphereans. I'm now going through the new material and, the stronger material held over prior to the call for further consideration. The standard is quite high, and I suppose, so is the competition for the available space.

I'll be getting back to everyone with a decision in the next few weeks.

Note that the Able Muse, print edition, is still accepting submissions, but what comes in...
