Just thought that I would post an update on how Issue # 5 is progressing, since we are only 12 days away from the submission deadline for this issue.
Because Suspense & Decision magazine is published on a monthly basis, the call for submissions and the submission deadline appear relatively frequently. Less than two full weeks from the submission deadline, zero articles have been submitted, and zero articles have been written by myself. Going forward, that will give you a comparison point.
I have received a couple of new ads for Issue # 5, by this point in time.
Since no articles for this issue exist, yet, compiling of Issue # 5 can't begin, yet. Receiving articles early in the month allows for more time for editing and compiling. For comparison's sake, where Issue # 4 is concerned, I could have published at least a 40-page magazine for that issue by February 10th. As of March 8th, Issue # 5 couldn't even be a 20 page magazine, not even a 12 page magazine.
Over the course of a month, articles tend to trickle in. That has been the case for every issue, to date.
Not everyone that does read the magazine will end up reading this posting, of course. But, I post it, just the same.
When there are lulls in article submissions, I tend to write more. I much prefer a diverse range of authors for each issue's articles, though. So, if you are both able and willing to help me out with an article for Issue # 5, know that I appreciate your willingness to chip in an article to help bring Issue # 5 to fruition by the publication deadline.
Thanks!
