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...

Although Able Muse reads submissions year-round, if you want to make it in the inaugural print edition (Winter 2010) your submission should be received by end-of-day -- i.e. midnight PST-- of this coming Friday, October 8, 2010.
