Mid-March closings! Yay! Just in time to kill Caesar.
Since folks seemed to like the whole spreadsheet thing, I’ve done it again for this week’s closing list. If you’re into spreadsheets, it has a bit more info than what is listed below.
But, if you prefer to peruse, I’ve written out the deadlines, descriptions, genres, pay & fee info, plus founding dates.

We also fully comp anyone who needs it since financial troubles should never be a barrier to creative expression. You can fill out that form here.
Thank you & enjoy.
