Thanks for your patience, everyone! The Blue Route #11 will go live by the end of the month. On February 1, we’ll be open again for submissions.

We are in the process of going through an unprecedented number of submissions. Please be patient! We’ll try to get back to everyone by mid-January.

The Blue Route is closed for submissions until mid-January, but if you have some fiction that’s ready to go, you might want to submit something to The Stony Brook Short Fiction Prize contest (for undergraduate writers).  There’s no entry fee, and you could win 1,000.00!  Here’s a link for more information: http://www.stonybrook.edu/southampton/mfa/special_programs/fiction_guidelines.html

We’re extending the deadline for submissions until Friday, November 15.  You still have one more week to send us your best prose or poetry…
