A few words from the Danes
Hamlet’s terrace, Kronborg, Denmark
Horatio: If your mind dislike any thing, obey it: I will forestall their repair hither, and say you are not fit.
Hamlet: Not a whit, we defy augury. There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come–the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet, V. ii. 217-222
We are readying ourselves for our March reading period. If you have a manuscript, we hope you’ll send it our way for our inaugural Editors’ Prize. More details available if you click on our Submissions tab.
