SLUSH PILE

WHAT'S A SLUSH PILE?

Some call it a "slush pile," which sounds like it would require waders and a strong stomach, but in fact, the slush pile was always our story pipeline. We had no assistants. Susan and I started Glimmer Train because we wanted to read the great short fiction being written by emerging voices, and to publish the very best in a handsome print publication that would endure. When we dove into reading stories, we were prepared to be moved, surprised, and changed; we were never disappointed. THANK YOU for having let us read your work.
