New Website

Scratch that!  The new SHR website IS HERE!

We've been hard at work the last few months on bringing our readers and writers a clearer, sleeker website, and here it is at last!

There are a number of exciting features on our new online home, including updated archives for the last three issues, excerpts of essays and short stories for our Fall 2010 issue (excerpts for the poems are on their way), updated submission guidelines, live Twitter feeds, and links to Facebook and this blog, The Torch.

We've got more on the way, including a new quarterly podcast, featuring work from each issue read by Auburn University thespians, and interviews with some of our writers.  Keep an eye out for the first podcast coming soon, including a reading and interview from one of our Pushcart Nominees for 2010, Emma Bolden.

In the coming days, we'll start test driving an online submission service.  While we aren't entirely committed to ditching snail mail submissions altogether, we are eager to see what the ease of online submissions brings to our doorstep.

Lots of new, exciting things on the way for SHR.  However, our mission remains the same--to publish the best creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, critical essays and book reviews from emerging and established writers.

Many thanks to Lori Woods, website designer extraordinaire, Sam Singer, our webmaster, Karen Beckwith, our editorial assistant, and Garrard Conley, the graduate student editor who lead the charge on the new website.  Let's have a virtual round of "For They're All Jolly Good Fellows" for this amazing crew!

We hope you enjoy our new website, and that it inspires you to subscribe and submit to SHR.
