Dear Eratosphereans,
Thank you all for your comments, expressions of concern, and support. I appreciate the patience shown by many of you as we work through these ongoing challenges.
Jayne, thank you for summarizing the current situation regarding the Able Muse contests, submissions, and books. That remains the case, and I will provide further updates as they become available.
To clarify: Contest results are delayed but remain in progress, and contributors will be notified directly as soon as we have concrete updates. The forthcoming issue of Able Muse will follow the contest results, as it includes the winning entries. The book releases are also delayed, but affected authors will receive direct communication about timelines.
I understand that some have been frustrated by delayed responses. While I’ve made efforts to improve communication, some messages may have slipped through the cracks in the past months due to the workload. Roger, I did reply to your email about a week ago, but I haven’t seen a follow-up. If something got lost along the way, feel free to resend it.
On the technical side, I continue to handle the maintenance, monitoring, and financial upkeep of Eratosphere, as well as Able Muse’s publishing operations. Things are gradually returning to normal, albeit more slowly than I'd like.
I will provide more updates as soon as I have firm details. In the meantime, I truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support.
Cheers,
…Alex
