Jersey Devil Press

Print Only submissions will be closing as of May 1st. Submissions to the online magazine will continue without interruption.

If you’ve already submitted a Print Only story and not yet heard back, don’t fret. We’ll treat your submission with the same love and respect we always do.

This closing will most likely be permanent. We’ve received, and accepted, some great stories submitted solely for the print anthology, but, next year, we’re thinking all potential contributors will have to go through the website first. There’ll still be some never-before-published stories, but we’re going to try and request new contributions from authors we like. But that’s getting ahead of ourselves. We’ve still gotta get this year’s anthology banged out.

Selections of already-published pieces for the print anthology will begin in earnest in May. We’ve got a rough idea of which stories we’ll pick, and those lucky authors can expect an e-mail formally requesting their OK then. We’ll announce the line-up in June and hopefully get the book out in July. ‘Til then, you’ll have to sit tight, tear through the archives and the current issue, and make your best guesses.

Don’t forget, people:

Perhaps., by Stephen Schwegler, is available for pre-order.

Order it now! Time is running out! Pre-orders are only open until the end of February! Then you’re going to have to wait two weeks and regular order it! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF?!

Perhaps. is available as a classic paperback and in the extra fancy “author signed” edition.

All pre-orders will be personally packaged with love and good intentions and will ship on March 15th.

You can find an excerpt from the collection, the short story “Jesus Was Broke,” here. Read it, love it, buy it. In whatever order you want.

Good evening, ladies and gentle-fops. I come to you on the decline of this fine, fine Groundhog’s Day with startling, amazing, terrific news:

Perhaps., by Stephen Schwegler, is now available for pre-order.



Yes, you read that right, Perhaps. is now available for pre-order. In our store.
Perhaps. is due in all your usual retail establishments on March 15th, 2010, but we, being the wonderful people we are, have decided to open up pre-orders for it for the month of February.

You can order it as a classic paperback or in the extra fancy “author signed” edition. I can’t promise you that Steve’s handwriting will be legible, but I can promise that the ink will be free of blood. He was against that for some reason.

All pre-orders will be personally packaged with love and good intentions and will ship on March 15th.

You can find an excerpt from the collection, the short story “Jesus Was Broke,” here. Read it, love it, buy it. In whatever order you want.

And when you’re done, don’t forget to check out Issue Five! Free and online, just the way Mama used to make it.
