When editorial errors have a positive outcome ...

Source
When Dawn and I decided to start a literary magazine we had no idea how well it would kick off. We were thinking that we'd have to beg for people to submit to get the ball rolling. But nope. After listing the mag on Duotrope, we realized how sought after our vision actually was.

So as a celebration and thank you to the 1,500 unique people who checked out our inaugural issue, and to our wonderful contributors, we're giving away a $40 gift card from an online bookstore of your choice. To see how you can win it, check out the Vine Leaves blog post today.

See ... sometimes editorial errors have a positive outcome! You'll just have to read the post to find out why ...

Hope to see you there!

    1500 unique views? That is so awesome. I've only had one blog post that got that many, and it took it years to get them.

    I just went over and did fullscreen of the January issue of Vine Leaves - and was *astounded* at the quality of the poems and stories (the stories as poetic as the poems). What incredible talent in the blogging community!
