Very cool. Will you consider reprints for this, or original stories only?

Ben Lockwood, Ph.D.'s avatar

Good question. I’m still mulling it over. It might be originals only, but maybe allowing re-prints from places that are now defunct

Alex Shvartsman's avatar

A fresh growth from the tombs of fiction markets past would be on point for your theme. :)

Given the limit on submissions, when do you open for submissions exactly, i.e. is it midnight as 30th November turns to 1 December, in which case which time zone? If not, when?

Ben Lockwood, Ph.D.'s avatar

Yes, Rotting Leaf Mag will open to submissions at midnight (12AM EST) Dec. 1st. This will be accompanied by announcements here and across other social media
