What is the average number of story submissions you receive during a given review period? How do you whittle down the number of entries into a manageable number and then settle on which to publish?
Do you as editors look for what is trending (in terms of genres and current fads, I doubt this) or simply go for what you deem to be the best of submissions you receive?
Lastly, I want to say great work on the interviews. God bless you for making them all available all the time online, they are a treasure trove of inspiration and advice. Keep up the great work! The last piece on The Last Bookstore was fantastic; it's my favorite bookstore in LA and it isn't even close.
