What not to send

Genre fiction*

*This doesn’t mean your story can’t have cowboys, vampires, detectives, aliens, Fabio, etc. as characters, but they should be “literary.” They shouldn’t be formulaic, cliched and/or unoriginal.

I want to find it insulting, but it honestly just strikes me more as sad than anything.

Is this a paying or non-paying market?

(Once I know, I'll move it to a more appropriate section of AW)

Looks like they already posted in non-paying markets anyway: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=249029

Guess this thread is redundant.

Poor thread. *pats it gently*

So there are now two threads for subs to this new mag. And neither has been visited by the OP since they were posted.

Add that to this:

Quote:
Please do not send - genre fiction. This doesn't mean fiction submissions can't have cowboys, vampires, detectives, aliens, Fabio, etc. as characters, but they shouldn't be formulaic, cliched and/or unoriginal.
and it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.


OP, any chance of you paying us a visit?

This line confuses me. I'm a professional writer, and I understand to only send finished work, which can go without saying, but what does this mean? I don't want to miss some subtle point you're trying to make.
