Our summer issue is in the house! If you’re a subscriber, a tidy envelope full of blinding literary light will make its way to you next week. If you are not a subscriber, Santa knows this, and there will be repercussions.
With the issue’s arrival comes the opportunity to pit your proofreading skills against those of CR’s editorial cadre. We call it the Blue Pencil Prize. In short, if you spot a typo or other error in the pages of volume 9, number 1, report it by commenting on this post (click the post title to comment), and we’ll mail you—along with a blue Col-Erase pencil, the old-timey editor’s tool of choice—either a logo-emblazoned slingpack or thermos, or we’ll add an extra issue to your subscription. Up to you. Happy proofing!
On p. 135: “but he debated that part with him self a little too long.”
The word “himself” is split between two lines (no hyphen).
Thank you for another great issue! I especially enjoyed Brian Barker’s poems … will be purchasing his two books.
Great catch, Laura! Glad you like the issue. Will send your blue pencil next week. Any other items you’d like?
No, just the blue pencil is fine. (I already have a slingpack and a thermos, both very nice.)
Thanks!
