Miriam now has Alex's address and information, so anyone who's in need only drop Miriam a quick email to let her know.

What a great idea! I've just e-mailed Miriam asking her to send my earnings to Alex.

Best,
Jean

Good initiative, Roger. I'm also in for the $20. Susan

Belatedly folllowing this posse of Pegasuses into Per Contra, I have also requested any fee should be posted Pepplewards. thus swelling the Sphere-supporting swag to . . . I've lost count.

I saw this thread when it was brand new and hadn't looked in again for a while, until now. In others words, I didn't realize there has been a turn in the last several posts ... so much so for me to say, WOW, you guys & gals! And as overwhelmed with gratitude as I am, all I can say, is thank you one and all for your support!

On the poetry angle though, I want to say that it looks like there will be Spherical invasion of Per Contra's summer issue! As you might know, I don't submit as much as I'd like to, but I jumped onto the bandwagon this time when I saw the thread a while back. And I only found out about the turn in this thread from Miriam Kotzin herself who has just informed me that apart from taking one of the poems I sent her, several of you have asked her to send their honorarium to me. So, altogether, two very good surprises!

And, congratulations to all of you who got accepted!

Cheers,
...Alex

I am joining the party it seems. Miriam also accepted one of mine.

Cripes! I didn't send her any. Too late?

John, I think there might be still time because Miriam only sent me an acceptance yesterday ... meaning she's probably still reading.

And congrats, Cyn, and all of you who got accepted!

Cheers,
...Alex

I just checked Per Contra. Woe, they are closed to poetry right now--but, hey, open for short fiction!

Huge congrats to all who got accepted there. And how nice to send the honoraria to Alex!

Added in: I stand corrected! See below! And see first post on thread...

Charlotte, check the first post in this thread. Per Contra is closed to poetry subs as a rule--but this is a special situation, and Gail has a special go-ahead from the editor to solicit subs. So I think a light-verse sub is still a go.
