OK, I see where you're coming from now. Makes perfect sense. Must say it was fascinating to read about what goes on in the background of EDF. You guys seem to have your heads screwed on. Jordan,

Many thanks for dropping in! OK, I see where you’re coming from now. Makes perfect sense.

Must say it was fascinating to read about what goes on in the background of EDF. You guys seem to have your heads screwed on.

I realize that raising rates from $3 a story to $10 a story doesn't make any difference in real terms, it does to the critics. To them, it's the difference between an amateur and professional level publication--no matter what quality of story is involved. Also, there are authors who won't sub to a token paying magazine no matter what the exposure level. EDF needs to grow, and at this point, one of the only ways to do that is to start attracting more critical attention. Thanks for the mention, Jonathan!

And they are a nice bunch to work with - the feedback is always helpful. You should do, Barry :) As I’ve said, the pay is lousy but the exposure is excellent.
