But before we get to the contests, some words on the new issue of Able Muse, print edition -- over 230 pages, which is about a double issue of poetry & fiction including those from Sphereans that won or made the finals of the last year's Write Prize, plus the essays, reviews and art & photography.

If you haven't yet got your copy of the new Able Muse, what are you waiting for!? -- The comments/reviews are in and they range from "beautiful" from a fellow editor (who's with a top literary print journal), to "... frankly, a bit blown away!" from a well-known poet and critic, etc.
Order the new, winter 2011 issue, and/or subscribe at www.ablemusepress.com .

OK, I see now, it is under "preferred entry method".

I was looking for it under "Guidelines" with the dotted info.

Thx for clarifying.
