Hitch in Our Giddyup

Dear contest types: We’ve run into an electronic snag re the payment process for the Robert and Adele Schiff Awards. In short, if you enter and pay, then return to Sumission Manager later to check on your entry, it will appear as though your payment did not go through. Rest assured, ALL IS WELL. You’re all paid up, and we’re diving into your poems, stories, essays. We’ve got people who’ve got people who are working to restore the communication line with Skipjack, which is ignoring us right now. But that’s our problem. Just alerting you so you do not pay twice. Repeat: DO NOT PAY TWICE! If you do, we can fix that too, but we’d rather save you—and ourselves—the trouble. Thanks for entering!  Exciting-looking submissions are rolling in. Remember you can enter multiple times (and receive multiple subscriptions), and we’re accepting work through July 15.
