Submission milestone and stats
As of sometime in the past week, we've received over 8000 submissions since we started taking subs, by about 3500 different authors.
Interesting coincidence: in three of the last four months, we've received exactly 242 submissions. (April was unaccountably low-volume, with only about 190.) Averaging around 7 or 8 a day.
Our response time continues to hover around 24 days, though it'll probably temporarily go up a bit soon, as we've gotten a little behind in our reading due to WisCon.
So far this year, about 33% of our submissions have been by women, about 62% by men, and about 5% by authors whose gender I'm unsure of. The breakdown over the lifetime of the magazine is quite close to that: 32% by women, 60% by men, 8% unknown.
