Thanks to everyone who played our Game of the Month: Copyediting Extravaganza! A couple of you were oh so close to getting all of the answers right, but alas—the perfect score proved elusive. For those of you who used to look forward to grading your own spelling quizzes (we admit it—we did), here’s the key: …
Last chance, readers: Submit your answers to our Game of the Month by midnight tonight (Monday) for a chance to be one of five winners of thermos, slingpack, or back issue. (The savvy test-takers among you may have noticed that there are some answers already posted, but beware. We’re not telling who—if anyone—is right.)
It’s that time of the year: We’re copyediting like mad. Colored pencils are flying across pages. Brian’s downing thermosfuls of coffee. Becky’s chain-eating Laffy Taffy because the sugar and constant jaw movement “help her concentrate.” Nicola’s using her eraser so furiously that a small cloud of rubber-scented dust hangs above her desk. Lisa complains that …
Some weeks ago, we announced that the latest Greetings from Cincinnati Review event (Boston incarnation) was in the works.

One of our intrepid new volunteers, Linwood Rumney, has a great poet’s name, calling up linn (torrent of rushing water), a pastoral forest, a fiery drink, and . . . knees. Okay, that last isn’t exactly poetic, but still, we’re glad to have Linwood and his great name on staff. It’s also good to have …
A quick note to alert everyone that our office is closing for the break starting next week. If you’d like to order a gift subscription for someone, now’s the time. If you wait till next week, no one will be here to send the amazing current issue to your (doubtless) grateful loved one. We return …
Nicola Mason: An obvious blog post presented itself to me this week, courtesy of two lovely Facebook friends. Friend One reported with delight that he had finally used the word “Cthulhu” in a poem.

We’ve got a date and a place for our third “Greetings from The Cincinnati Review” cross-country, multi-author, über-tastic reading series. First we took San Francisco.
