We are extending the deadline for submitting to our Creative Nonfiction issue. The response so far has been outstanding; however, that means we are about to reach our monthly Submittable submission limit! To be fair to writers working away on pieces that they intended to submit before the March 31 deadline, we have decided to extend the deadline until midnight on April 4.
Please share this message widely.
