For many years Jim Harrington has been posting editor interviews on his blog, Six Questions For…. As a writer, I find these interviews extremely helpful; I can get a feel for the listed magazines by the mood and style of the editor's answers. As an editor, it gives me a chance to give you the same. Today Jim has posted my second interview with him here . The first interview was in 2014, in the very early years of *82, here . Many thanks to Jim for continuing this invaluable resource! And the guidelines for submission to *82, as always, are here .

I'm still reading for the winter issue. It's a nice time to sit down with your old work and comb through it, discovering a gem in the midst of fallen leaves. I love reading compressed fiction and prose poems and creative nonfiction written as lyrical stories. You've got it somewhere there. I know you do.   http://www.star82review.com/submissions.html

Keep 'em coming! Submissions are still open for the winter 9.4 issue of Star 82 Review, with a projected publication date of mid-December. Check out the guidelines first. Here is a sneak peek at the cover.
