@johnbarrettlee Hi, John! Sure thing. Sending you a message via Submittable.

@BookendsReview Please let me know if I have a new publication date.

GREAT NEWS! 1) Starting June 1 (and temporarily or permanently), we're publishing TWICE on Mon, Tue, Thur, and Fri! 2) We're dedicating specific days to specific genres, too. So, you can check out new poetry on Mon/Thur and new fiction on Tue/Fri! How's that sound?!
