One caveat - there is a $10 entry fee per story submitted. My bad - I didn't see that the first time.

Most contests have an entry fees these days. As they go, that one isn't bad.

I saw that one, but the entry fee made me pass. dialyn is right, the fee is not excessive, and it is a respected magazine. So if inclined, go for it. Still, for me a fee is a fee, and I firmly believe money should always flow towards the author,not the other way around. jon
