Whats New With Mount Zion.

We are now up to date on submissions.  The few stories we do have are about a week old and will be finished off on Tuesday.  Vol. 2 issue 1 is well underway and if you have any good tales to submit -- please send on.

Ryan and I have been getting some really good stories.  And I'm sorry to say, we have rejected some really good stories because they do not meet the pg-13 rateing set forth in the guidlines.  After much discussion, we have decided to put togather an anthology with a more liberal policy toward language, sex, and violence.  This will include all those jucy tales that were banned from Mount Zion Speculative Fiction Review due to content.  We will NOT take any erotica.  However, we would love to publish some good stories.  Look for us soon to be posting another submission inbox for the anthology.  It is still in the early stages of planning, so bear with us on the release date, we have yet to set it.  More information is forthcoming.

All our orders are up to date.  If you have not recieved your order by first of next week, please send me an email (mpooleATmountzionpressDOTcom).  We have also revised the way we do our shipping to increase the speed in which you will recive MZSFR

Mount Zion General Store.

 Well, the general store is up and running.  You can now buy mugs, t-shirts, polo's, and more with the logo of your favorite literary Journal.  We hope to update and get some better stuff soon, but for now I'm glad to say that at least its available.

Mount Zion on TV

Several weeks ago I was invited to represent MZSFR on Inside Anderson County, a local cable show that runs each week on Wednesday.  Inside Anderson County is hosted by Joseph McCulley and airs on channel 12 if your one of the few hundreds that can get it.  I was given one hour to speak and take phone calls.  In addition to the magazine and our future goals, I used this opportunity to plug about every writer I could remember.  After speaking to the producer, I was invited back a second time.  Our next appearance should accompany the release of vol. 2 issue 1.  Unfortunatly, I only got a days notice so I was unable to let many people know; this should not be a problem next time and I will post it on the blog prior to the broadcast.

 

Of course, for most of our readers and contributors, this is moot.  I will try to get a video to post on the blog as well.
