Factor Four Magazine

I apologize for the silence on our end. We are working in the background trying to understand what the future is for us.

I cannot stress enough, we are not considering closing the magazine at this time. We are simply analyzing the best path forward. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have submissions in with us, they are still being read and considered.

We have not updated you all in little bit. Some personal stuff has come up that has resulted in there being no December or January issue. The end result is it has us reconsidering our structure to ensure this doesn't happen again. I are temporarily closing submissions
