quotes about imagination 2010

##title##

It publishes prose works of less than 7000 words with traditional emphasis of good writing: strong characters, good plot and theme, imagery, style of writing, and point of view. On its guidelines page, the magazine quotes C. Michael Curtis, fiction editor of The Atlantic Monthly: "What most editors look for, in addition to a respect for conventional strengths of orderly composition, is a sentence or two sufficiently complex in structure and idea to signify a serious mind at work. Editors look for engaging sensibility, a writer with wit, imagination, and an appreciation for the benefits of a well-constructed sentence." These same qualities are what the editor is looking for from poets and writers of creative nonfiction.

The magazine came to life with the advent of free and low-cost of web hosting as well as the maturation of WYSIWYG html software. The original name of the publication was Starry Night Review, named for the painting by Vincent Van Gogh. During its early years, the publication used the free web sites available from AOL, Yahoo's Geocities, and Angelfire. From the beginning, the publication has been created using Sun Microsystem's Star Office software. The graphics have been created with Micrografx's Picture Publisher 8 software for the entire nine years.

Since its inception the publication has accepted only email submissions. Writers copy and paste their short stories, poems, and creative non-fiction into an email that they send to editorsnreview.org. The publication usually responds to their works within two months. The publication usually asks for the first time rights to the work.
