We have five editors. Each editor reads each submission. Then each editor votes YES, NO, or MAYBE for each piece. The titles of the pieces with the majority vote, or the most yeses, are posted on our website on the WORKS ACCEPTED page.
We read from Sunday through Saturday, and then make decisions the following Sunday for all works received the week prior. Decisions are then posted on the WORKS ACCEPTED page on Sunday or Monday. After the initial response to let you know we received your submission, we no longer respond directly to submissions. The titles posted on the WORKS ACCEPTED page are the pieces that will be in the upcoming issue.
Because of our reading cycle, you will have a response within a week. Just be sure to check the WORKS ACCEPTED page. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at editor@eclecticflash.com. And don't forget to check out our recommended reading list of books on the craft of writing.
