Quick Note on Comments
Two-Bit loves comments!
You may notice if you leave a comment that they don’t show up on main pages or posts-this is simply a matter of keeping the blogspace clean. Comments will be visible on the first issue of Two-Bit Magazine, and we’ll look at creating a forum for regular free commenting if there’s a demand.
In the meantime, the comments we’ve received have helped us modify our website for usability and update our submission guidelines. We appreciate what you have to say, and encourage you to comment so we can see your feedback.

Apologies for delay
The reply/confirmation system for Two-Bit Magazine has been instituted; I apologize for the delay. People should expect an automatic confirmation that their email has been received. If there are any issues with the attachment, or if the email was a question, query or concern, then one should expect a timely reply from the editor (usually within a day).
Thanks very much for your continued support,
Matt Williams

Update: Editor(s) start replying; “Nicholson Baker Talks Poetry”
I hope for the rest of you out there, the afternoon is considerably less rainy than it is here. It isn’t a very nice rain today, though it is a touch warmer than I was expecting. I heard on the radio that Maine got its first dusting of snow.
Per the (albeit small, but unanimous) response to the last poll regarding whether or not one would like a response to one’s submission from the editor, starting on Monday this coming week all submissions will receive an email confirmation of receipt. Two-Bit won’t be doing responses to past submissions.
A note on turnaround time of submissions: The earlier you’ve submitted and the longer it takes to hear from us, the better. Because the deadline for Two-Bit isn’t until November 30, and because we’ve decided to limit the writers in the first issue to ten (give or take), if you haven’t heard from us in awhile, it probably means that your work has made it to the second stage of consideration, and we’re holding it until the deadline. If you’re concerned that we’ve forgotten you and its been two months, feel free to send an email to the editor notifying us of such.
Other business:
The Poetry Foundation (poetryfoundation.org) posted an interview with Nicholson Baker in regards to his new novel The Anthologist. It addresses some notions of the movement between poetry and long prose, and is, overall, an interesting conversation worth at least a glance, if not some prolonged consideration. You can check it out here: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/journal/article.html?id=237670
P.S. Happy October!
