Bios generally contain a brief overview of your identity as a writer. We like clever quips, but we also like getting to the point.

• Additional info

  Revisions: You may request a few minor edits to your piece once we have accepted it, but we ask that you please submit work that is already in its finalized state. We may request a few minor edits from you, but do not generally make many editorial revisions. We reserve the right to refuse revisions if we believe they are unnecessary. Once your piece has been published to the website, we will refuse any new revisions to your piece. However, if there is an error in our upload of your piece, we will make the necessary correction. Please inform us ASAP of any such error! Publication Proofs: Proofs may be requested for publications prior to the issue release date. If your work experiments with formatting, we will send an unsolicited proof for your review.

Please email us with these requests and we’ll update your publication.
