Musical Chains in the Old Man’s Basement
September 30, 2008
Those of us who labor in Old Man Farrago’s dismal cellar, carrying out his literary whims, are pleased to notice that Wainscot copy editor, Jason Grissom, has undergone a change of servitude—he’ll get an extra crust of bread now in exchange for laboring as our new Assistant Fiction Editor.
Even Weirder than Before
August 25, 2008
Old Man Farrago is pleased to announce that Jonathan Wood, editor of the most recent issue of Behind the Wainscot, #15: “The Reading,” has accepted an invitation to join the BtW editorial team full-time. Team Farrago looks forward to the strange things that will come of his tenure with us.
In other news, Behind the Wainscot will no longer be open to submissions. We made this decision in order to free up our time and energy to exclusively publish our topical, “special” issues, which we look forward now to releasing with greater frequency. If you’re still waiting for a response on a BtW submission you’ve previously sent, we’ll be in touch very soon.
In Farrago’s Wainscot news, we will reopen to submissions on September 1, when we will begin reading for our ninth issue, which will be published on January 1, 2009. Beginning with Issue Nine, we are raising our contributor’s rates to $20.00 USD per story, poem, etc.
As always, we appreciate your support.
