]]> Dear Bat Citizens,

As of June 1, we are delighted to announce that we will accept submissions exclusively through our online submission manager, which you may navigate to here. We will no longer accept unsolicited submissions via post or e-mail. If you submitted your work between November and June through e-mail or snail mail, it will still be considered, but all submissions sent on or after June 1 must utilize the submission manager. We’re excited to use a more environmentally responsible means to consider your work and thank you for your patience during this transition. 

Best,

S.E. Smith
