Oh, one more quick thing to report…

There was a slush discovery this month. We bought “Old as Books” from Mike Shultz, a newish writer who has had one previous sale to Black Gate. So I guess I can’t claim all the credit for discovering him, but I did read the story, saw that it was good, and passed it along to the man who signs the checks.

Sorry to disappoint those who thought that the title of this post was referring to a new reality TV show in which slush writers try to out-write, out-revise, and out-format each other (with the winner, of course, not winning a million dollars, but publication in a fine literary journal of the fantastic).
