Hello all,

Just an update with regard to submissions for Ghosts in The Machine: We stand currently at 35 submissions with the deadline quickly approaching. We hope to have quite a few more before the end of the submission period, as we've heard from quite a number of writers furiously at their work. We're very much looking forward to your submissions.  

If you have queries (or questions even!) please don't hesitate to email or reply to this post. Thanks for your participation and happy writing!

Thanks again, Aitch
