Gemini magazine seeks submissions, holds contest

About submitting to Gemini...
Brian,

If I am wild about a submission and simply can't stop thinking about it and talking about it, I know it's right for Gemini, then I rush to accept it before someone else grabs it. Just gotta have it! Aside from those subjective but very strong feelings, we don't have any checklists or guidelines. I can't tell people what to write or how to write, but I know when a piece moves me.

Things that help in a submission:
- Passion
- Clean copy with no typos. Advice to writers: Write with your heart first and foremost, but be sure to edit severely and proofread meticulously before sending submissions out. Typos, misspellings and sloppy copy distract my attention from an otherwise good story.

Best regards,
David Bright
Editor
P.S. Nice blog!
