Just to be clear, this is NOT the number of submissions we receive by month. This is the number of people we've had to ban by month. Prior to late 2022, that was mostly plagiarism. Now it's machine-generated submissions.

I don't have a cover for Issue 11 yet 😭

Who has a brilliantly eye-catching photograph or other resplendent piece of visual art they'd like me to consider putting on the cover of Issue 11?

[Bulb Culture Collective (SUBS OPEN!) @BulbCultCo]

A reminder that we are open for submissions of previously published work that has lost its original publisher.

It can be hard to find new homes for work, even harder to trust that home will stick around. We're here to help.

We'd love to see more submissions.
