We regret to inform you that as a result of the current economic conditions, two investors in this project have declined to move forward with funding of the first run. As a result, we are terminating this project and releasing all submitters from any obligations associated with the terms and conditions of submission.

We appreciate your interest and enthusiasm in this project, and we wish you all the best in your writing careers. We received many strong submissions, and only regret that we will not be able to move forward in showcasing your work.
