A Submission and A Piece About Getting paid

 First, Q: Why do so few literary magazines pay contributors...when so many genre magazines do?  (Lit Mag News) explains a bit about the culture of literary magazines. I have been targeting those who pay something first, especially since most charge a reading fee. It is just that I have spent most of my life thinking there has to be a profit for labor. I temper that with the thoughts of building a resume and getting the experience. This essay makes non-payment easier to swallow knowing what I am writing has no real home.

Such as “Pieces About A Small Indiana Factory, 1976–1984”, which got another rejection yesterday.

Thank you for sending "Pieces About A Small Indiana Factory, 1976 - 1984" to Southeast Review. While we haven't chosen the story for publication, we are grateful for the opportunity to have read and considered it. We wish you the best of luck placing it elsewhere.
