Star 82 Review change to email submissions

Some changes happened in the *82 Review Submittable plan, which have since been resolved, but just to make sure that we can keep submissions free, I've switched over to an email submission plan. The Submittable portal remains open for now, and is still accepting chapbook submissions for Star 82 Press until 31 August 2020. I'm excited about the manuscripts that have been coming in and looking forward to reading all of them carefully.

Meanwhile, the guidelines for regular submissions are on the Star 82 Review web page, as they have always been. Everything else about publication remains the same; I am committed to this independent, high-quality print and online magazine, now in our eighth year. Issue 8.3 in in progress, and I'm reading for 8.4 (publication date: December). Thanks for reading and sending your excellent art and writing!

Can ChatGPT Help Your Writing?

So much buzz these days about Artificial Intelligence in general and the various chatbots in particular like ChatGPT, Bard by Google, and Microsoft's Bing. A computer-savvy friend has been exploring ChatGPT in particular to see what it does and does not know, what it suggests, what it hallucinates, and how it might be of help in various situations. Recently, he asked me to forward him a submission (anonymously) to Star 82 Review, one I had not yet read, and asked ChatGPT if it "thought" I would accept it. I read the story and considered it first, then read ChatGPT's analysis. I've redacted and changed any identifying features to protect the privacy of the submitter. Here's what it said. * Based on the provided excerpt, it's difficult to make a definitive judgment on whether "[This Story]" would be accepted for publication in Star 82 Review. However, I can offer some observations and considerations to help you assess its potential. Strengths: Atm...
