Author Bios

Superstition Review

As we busily work toward the publication or our first issue, we are in the process of collecting bios for the 31 contributors that will have their work published in our April issue.

We at Superstition Review believe that knowing a little about the author often enhances the understanding of their work – it will also give you the opportunity to discover what authors you like and will give you the chance to find out more about them.

But remember, many writers will purposely write something that they have not personally experienced in an attempt to broaden their scope.

So keep your eyes peeled for more information about the writers that will be featured in the April issue of Superstition Review!

The Deadlines Have Just Begun

Superstition Review

kevinrosseel_031408_060.jpgEven though the deadline for the potential authors of Superstition Review has already passed, the deadlines are only just beginning for us here at the magazine.

After receiving hundreds of submissions, we need to have all of the final selections for our Inaugural issue decided by March 24th at the latest. The prospect is overwhelming to say the least, especially with all of the amazingly creative and high-quality work that we have received.

We here at Superstition Review can’t thank everyone who submitted their work enough; sending in your work to a publication takes a lot of courage, and we know that for many of you, your writing is a small part of yourself. But we can’t reinforce enough that even if your piece is not published in Superstition Review, we are honored that you shared it with us.

So here’s to a wonderful start of a busy week, and to a wonderful cast of authors, editors, and a wellspring of incredible writing for all!
