4. Final decisions are purely on the opinion of the editor of the collection, L.S. Engler.
5. Please include a small blurb about yourself for the eventual publication.

7. Work that has been previously published in forums or on your own personal blogs or websites will be accepted, but, please, no work that has been previously published elsewhere in a professional manner.

We will also be accepting submissions for cover art, original drawings or photographs that might be chosen for the cover of the WUR’s first issue. Due to the important nature of a cover, the payment for the winning photograph or artwork will be $25 (USD).

Thank you, and the best of luck to our applicants!
