If something arrives over a weekend, or a holiday, you may not receive an immediate reply, but you will receive a timely confirmation of the receipt of each item that you submit during the application process, including the application form, application fee, story submission, etc. All confirmations are sent via email.

Therefore, it is critical that you entered your email address correctly and that you can reliably receive email at the supplied address. We strongly suggest that the email account used is not one that is shared between friends or family members. We’ve had problems more than once with email addresses that are shared by more than one person where mail never made it to the intended recipient. If you sent something in and more than a day or two has gone by without a response (excluding weekends and holidays), please feel free to contact us.
ALSO – check your spam folder, or whitelist our domain to ensure our emails are delivered to your inbox.

We typically notify people of their acceptance around April 19 (by email, unless otherwise specified).
