We know no one will quite believe it, but the Fairy Tale Review website is updated. For real. Including our newest call for submissions, to The Red Issue. Take a look!

Fairy Tale Review Updates

The White Issue of Fairy Tale Review is going to the printer this week! Issues should be in hand soon. We are delighted to report that, as hoped, we've managed to compile a CD of fairy-tale music contributed by some pretty fantastic musicians. It's moody, sweet, melodic, and strange. (The CD will be for sale separately, via the FTR website.)

Meanwhile, we are still responding to submissions to The Aquamarine Issue, which is proving to be an oceanic issue indeed. You will hear from us soon if you haven't; no need to query. We know we are late and apologize. Thank you for all your great work and for your interest in the journal, but more importantly, in fairy tales. 

We will be reading for the sixth issue of Fairy Tale Review (The Red Issue) starting in February and will post new submission guidelines, information about The White Issue, The Aquamarine Issue, and other news, on our soon-to-be updated website.

Thanks for all your support, and happy holidays.
