Contributor Copies

Hello all,

We hope your summer has gone well. We are back in full swing with classes here in Washington, so we’ve been busy. We will be issuing the contributor copies in rounds to keep costs down. We have received our first shipment of contributor copies and will be sending them out promptly (by the end of next week) to the addresses we have. We expect another shipment shortly. Thank you for your patience and understanding; we are busy folks.

Update

Hello folks,

We are pleased to announce that the journal is finally done . It will be available within 2-3 days on Amazon.com. As soon as we receive the link we will post it here. Meanwhile we are working on the e-book version and for those who made it in, look for your free contributor copies to arrive sometime around the end of summer. Contributors, be sure to send us your current mailing address.

Thanks,

UPDATE

Hello all,

We continue to appreciate your patience.  We have (we hope)  finally finished editing the last proof copy of the anthology.  We have to wait about a week to confirm the proof’s finality, and then the piece will be available on-line.  We are sorry about the wait.  As we are two busy academics, this is a labor of love that must be pushed aside at times in order for us to do our (paying) jobs.   So, roughly ten more days to go.

Hope all is well with you and yours,

Breadline Press

Congratulations!

Hello everyone!  We have finally confirmed the writers who will be appearing in the anthology.  Congratulations to those who have been accepted, and many thanks to all who submitted.

We have had some confusion with some submissions and their status.  If you are not on the acceptance list, you have not made it.  Please remember that this being done by e-mail.  In sending out letters we had some e-mails that bounced back.  Luckily, none of our acceptance letters bounced.  Our apologies, but we simply do not have the resources to follow up on bounced e-mails.

Accepted writers will receive a printed copy.  We expect the anthology to be published sometime around the end of March.  We appreciate everyone’s patience and will be in touch with any edit requests and a possible announcement for the next anthology shortly.  Thank you!
