Or if you're like me and you get enough email every day, follow us on Twitter or fan us on the Bookface.

So what's the big freakin' news this month?

You only have 12 days left to submit your work to Versal 10.

That is all.

Versal's contributor payment matching scheme

In case you missed it, from our guidelines:

NEW! We are now working towards paying our contributors. Funds collected from contributor payment donations will be matched by Versal and distributed equally among Versal 10's contributors. Contributors will also receive one gratis copy and the option to order additional copies at a discount.

and

All proceeds from the submission fee go towards production costs. The optional $1 added goes towards contributor payment, and will be matched dollar for dollar by Versal’s other fundraising activities.

Maybe it won't be much, at first, but it will be a start towards rectifying at least one inequality in our literary economy, at least where Versal is concerned.
