Thanks Ellen. When my bestie (hi, Lizzy!) and I were brainstorming topics for the newsletter, I originally envisioned The Dating Game! Publishing Edition as a one-off. But I’m too much of a goof-nerd to restrain myself to just one episode.

i know most of us would just like to get published, but is anyone else concerned about print only journals? it's so easy to access work that's online and in print, but the print only journals, even though i love paper and reading on paper, who'll even know the work exists after a time?

but the piece was pretty relevant, fit and timing seem important and more background on a journal than less seems needed these days...but is it fit or aspiration, like an old pontiac fits, but is a new ford what we should be looking for?

looking forward to the cnf version

Being able to hold the journal, touch something physical that contains your creativity? Is something special.

I’m beginning to think The Dating Game! Publishing Edition might need some sort of Very Special Episode? To cover journal tiers (not all of us will be published in Poetry, for example) and other aspects of finding a good match for our creative work that’s challenging to squeeze into the regular format of the show…
