Orono, Maine

•        Thank you to Bruce, Matt, Cory, and Joe

•        Aethlon Journal and Formatting

o   Submission guidelines

•  Mark Baumgartner (editor)

•  Guidelines currently do not allow simultaneous submission

•  Journals don’t work that way any longer for creative work

•  Proposing rewritten guidelines that allow folks to send submissions to multiple publications

•  Acceptance to Aethlon will require the author to withdraw the submission from any other publications they may have submitted to

•  Currently behind on publication for the current issue

•        Some writers would be disappointed

•  Updating guidelines to allow simultaneous submissions to other journals

•        If they get accepted elsewhere, they will notify Aethlon immediately

•  Good incentive for editors to not take too long to decide (input from Michele Schiavone)

•        Most poetry magazines currently allow simultaneous submissions as well

•  New submission guidelines to be typed up again and distributed

•  Reminder to submit all Aethlon material in Word format

o   Inquiry on whether it would be worth it to look into Submittable

•  Cost comes out of pocket if not enough people are submitting

o   Because the current issue is behind schedule, there are already authors asking about withdrawing work/marketing elsewhere

o   June 18-21 (Wednesday to Saturday) in New York
