We’re still working on the first issue! Both of us are educators by day. Now that it’s September, you can imagine. But we’re still aiming to have the first handful of stories & poems published by end of the month!
If you’re writing 18th-19th century, behold “The Lexicon balatronicum. A dictionary of buckish slang, university wit, and pickpocket eloquence” archive.org/details/b293... on @archive.org
According to @duotrope.com 82.4% of our rejections are personal. We try to find something we love about every submission. & if we don’t accept, we want the author to feel encouraged. If you get feedback, it’s because saying “not this one” was a hard decision, & we really *truly* think you’re great.

Side effects of #historicalfiction may include increased verbosity, sensitivity to sunlight, and excessive swooning. If you or your loved ones become dependent on historical fiction, there are treatment options available. ⏳📚💙
We wouldn’t not be excited for submissions about deranged hypnotists.
You are getting sleepy. You will submit #historicalfiction and poems to The Sam Hill! Review. You are a lobster that writes. You are ambidextrous. You hold a pencil in each claw. I will count from four to zero. When I reach zero, you will awake with no memory of this. 4, 3, 2 ⏳📚💙
Two questions. Just curious. Answer one or both if the Muse possesses you… 1) What do you think is missing in the historical fiction space? 2) What makes HF distinct from literary fiction? Or is HF a subtype of literary fiction? ⏳📚 📚💙 #histfic #historicalfiction #literaryfiction
We at the Sam Hill! Review are proud to be sponsored by The $18.00 Giant Power Heidelberg Electric Belt. One of the many fine products we use daily to give our writing that extra jolt.
