For your excellent submissions, I hope you will think of Star 82 Review first, of course, but perhaps you have submitted several issues in a row already and are looking for another venue. I have been in touch with other editors, and several are really interested in reading new, fresh, and creative work. I've made a short list of them at the *82 site here . Read some of the issues, read the guidelines, and think about tone and emotional landing point of your piece(s). Meanwhile, as I await the proof of 9.4, I've starting reading for spring 10.1.
