Editor Mike Allen of Mythic Delirium writes to let us know that he’ll be closing to submissions on 23 May, “and I do not plan to reopen until 6 February 2011.” He also offers his reason: “I took stock of my inventory this past weekend and discovered I have already accepted more than enough poems to fill Mythic Delirium 23, which will be out, assuming all circumstances cooperate with me, in October. This is a testament to the quality of submissions I’ve received since reopening this past November. My goal is go ahead and fill Mythic Delirium 24, with a target publication date of March 2011. And with that task done, staying open longer would just mean ridiculously long waits between acceptance and publication, so I will shut the spigot off until it’s time to put together Issue 25.”
He also warns potential contributors that, when he does reopen next year, he plans “to shift to online submissions only.… (Subscription checks sent through the mail will remain welcome, of course.)”
