Hello, folks! To everybody who submitted stories and poems to us during the spring reading window: as of today, you should have received a response, whether it be rejection, acceptance, or a request for revisions. If you’ve gotten no response at all, you should send a query to mythicdelirium@gmail.com so we can figure out what’s up. There will be no other reading window this year. I’m really excited about the lineup that’s coming together. Next year, 2018, will be this

As of today, to my knowledge, I’ve reviewed every single submission that was sent during the March 1–May 1 submission window. If you haven’t heard back from me at this point, either I’m hanging on to your story or poems so Anita and I can go over them more thoroughly to make our final selections for issues 4.2 through 4.4, or your work has somehow fallen through the cracks. Queries welcome any time at mythicdelirium@gmail.com. Note 1: Having your work

We start May here at Mythic Delirium Books by marking two incremental milestones. First, our May features story and featured poems from Issue 3.4 are now live on the website. Shveta Thakrar’s sinister tale “Ghost Notes” illustrates how stealing stories can also steal souls, while Sara Cleto’s poem “How to Grieve: A Primer for Witches” seeks sorcerous remedies for real pain, and Jessica P. Wick’s “The Fetch” posits magical means for reclaiming one’s own life. If you don’t want to

The first day of March unlocks new fiction and poetry here at the home of Mythic Delirium magazine, and it unlocks a chance for more poets and fictioneers to join in this venture going forward. • In “Observations on the Trees of Peace, the Chirping Lizards, and the Sea at the End of the World,” Patricia Russo takes us on a strange anthropological journey that involves trees that may be sentient and lizards that may be emissaries from the afterlife.

So Anita and I have gone through all of the approximately 1,350 submissions we received. I want to express my gratitude to assistant editors Catherine Reniere, Sally Brackett Roberston, and especially Sabrina West, for helping us respond to these many, many hopefuls in a reasonably timely fashion.   At this point, if you sent a story in to Clockwork Phoenix 5 and haven’t heard back, either your story has made it to the final elimination round (heh) or you slipped

Our August features at Mythic Delirium are live on the website now. Have yourself a look!   August 2015 featured story: Cassandra Khaw introduces us to a sea witch with godlike powers who sets out to atone for a terrible wrong in “Her Pound of Flesh.”   August 2015 featured poems: Hannah Strom-Martin examines the qualities that comprise “The Villain’s Coat,” while Anne Carly Abad grants us a glimpse into “The Secret Lives of Cabinets.”   Eager to read the

At this point I have read every poem and story that was submitted during the Aug. 1-Oct. 1 reading window. I haven’t made final decisions on every piece; I will be sending a number of responses tonight. If you haven’t heard from me by tomorrow morning (Nov. 4) you are more than welcome to query.   #SFWApro  

The reading window for the next few issues of Mythic Delirium — from Issue 0.3, Jan.-March 2014, through however many more issues can be filled with what we decide to keep — closed October 2.   I’ve finished my first read of all the submissions we received (about 250.) At this point if you sent something in and haven’t heard from me either your work is being held for further review or (unlikely, but not impossible) you’ve slipped through the

Folks, due to a confluence of many, many overlapping events, I have only now begun to start responding to Mythic Delirium submissions — so my apologies for not being quicker on the draw. Most people who’ve sent something in won’t hear anything until after the reading window closes Oct. 1.   If you’re concerned, queries are always welcome. #SFWApro   The ebook editions of Mythic Delirium 0.2 went out to subscribers this Sunday. Because much of this website is still
