Duotrope’s Digest, the online writers’ resource listing over 2,900 current fiction and poetry publications — including Terrain.org — has just added to its ongoing series of interviews with publication editors.
The interview with Terrain.org editor-in-chief Simmons Buntin is now online at:

The interview includes compelling responses to such questions as “Describe what you publish in 25 characters or less,” and “What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?”
If you’re interested in submitting to Terrain.org, or just want to read a bit of the strange workings from Terrain.org’s founding editor (not to mention fiction editor Patrick Burns), check out the interview now.
