Frequently Asked Questions
Will you accept late submissions?
If we can, yes. Although we try to be flexible regarding submissions, the deadline is calculated by factoring in the review process and publication date. If we are not able to consider a later submission for the upcoming issue, we will retain it for consideration in next year's issue.
