Give yourself grace, Sarah. Right now it's a stressful time--even if it's good stress--and maybe you're not firing on all cylinders. But you will get your focus back. I believe in you!

Curious about other journals and Submittable: do you find that people often submit to the wrong category? Ever since we've been courting reviews, more than half of submissions are people submitting their poems instead of book reviews. How do you handle this?
