Why we now charge for submissions:
We are a group of friends who devote our precious off hours to this journal. We receive no support from grants or institutions, and every cent we raise here offsets the costs associated with our website and the use of Submittable. Any leftover funds will go to an annual Editors' Prize, for which all writers we publish will be considered.
