Apex Magazine Welcomes Guest Editor Michael A. Burstein
PRESS RELEASE
Apex Magazine is delighted to announce that the April issue will be a special one devoted to the concept of how the future will remember the past, and edited by award-winning writer and Apex author Michael A. Burstein.
“Ever since we published Michael’s collection I Remember the Future, we’ve been hoping that Michael could find the time to edit an issue,” said Jason Sizemore, publisher and editor-in-chief of Apex Magazine. “Michael’s looking for stories that evoke the same themes that tie his own stories together, such as the slipperiness of history and the dangers of forgetting the past.”
Burstein will be reading for this special issue of Apex Magazine from January 15th until March 15th. He said, “I want to thank Apex for this opportunity to edit an issue of the magazine. I’m looking forward to seeing the stories come in, and I’m hoping for some powerful ones that will stay with me for a long time.”
Guidelines for submission:
Stories for the special issue should be submitted as per the guidelines given on our submission page at http://www.apexbookcompany.com/submissions/.

Payment will be at the usual rate.
In the body of the email, please feel free to mention previous publication credits, if any.

Is the special issue still open? I cannot find the submission email address. The submission page only has a link leading back to this page.
Please let me (and anyone else who might still be interested in submitting to the special issue) know if it is still open and where to send submissions.
Thanks
Hi Bridget, thanks for pointing this out. I’ve placed the general guidelines (along with the submission address) back on the submissions page).
