The editors also strongly suggest that writers read the magazine to gain a sense of it prior to submitting (all issues are free and available online and as downloads).Wag’s Revue invites you to enter its Summer 2010 Contest in fiction, poetry, and essays. Submissions of electronic writing are also encouraged in any of the above genres. First prize receives $1,000 and publication in Wag’s Revue; second prize is $500, third is $100, and all submissions are considered for publication. The contest deadline is May 31, and winners will be announced June 21.
