On the other hand: there are so many first-time submitters in this round of submissions I’m reading for MLS, and it’s just a joy to see their unbridled enthusiasm for fiction and poetry. That hope and energy are truly special to see!

I'm editing an anthology about unlikable characters and seeking work from younger writers, 15-21. If you know of one such writer who might want to submit their work for consideration, please share this call for submissions: audacity.substack.com/p/acquired-t...
