[…] “A Lover” by A. W. Marshall over at Vestal Review. I’ve become quite enamored with flash of late, and this one has all my favorite hallmarks, best described by David Gaffney as “… nimble, nippy little thing[s] that [can] turn on a sixpence and accelerate quickly away.” And if “A Lover” isn’t enough of a weird little sawed-off tale to make my heart pitter-patter, this description of Marshall’s work-in-progress sealed my writer crush: “For the last four years he has been writing a novel about a hybrid man/rabbit living in 1850’s California called HENDO.” <3 Sigh… […]

[…] Vestal Review: This is a print/webzine that you can browser their previously publish for free online. It will give you an idea what they are looking for exactly.

This means they have reading periods: February to May, and then August to November. The do not take reprints and you can only submit two stories per reading period.

Hello, VR Staff: I notice that your archive links are no longer working. My students and I have been reading several of the works, as I link to them (Bed Bugs, I Don’t Love You Too, The Color of Skin) in my creative writing course. Will you be making these links available again any time soon?

So glad to have found your magazine. The information on your site is clear and well organized. Many others are neither. I think I have a couple of flash stories for you.
