Last Call for Contest Submissions!

Submission Period Transition

Submissions to our January issue are now closed. The editors are reading all the work submitted to us and will meet on the 16th of December to make final decisions on the material which will be included in the 15th issue of Perigee.

We are now seeking submissions to Perigee's April 2007 issue! This is our anniversary issue, and it tends to be our most read issue—in part because the winners of our 2006 Poetry Contest (Finalist Judge: Marvin Bell) are published in the April issue.

Those who submitted to our January issue are welcome to submit to our April issue immediately—no need to wait for our decision on your current submissions.

Get your work included in what will be one of our best and biggest issues ever. Submit today by visiting our current issue.

Congratulations, Sue!

One of our founding editors, longtime Contributing and Advisory Editor Susan Fellows, has retired from her teaching position at CSUSM. We are so proud of all that she has achieved, and most importantly, all the lives she has touched. It was clear this evening that she has touched many lives.

They are countless.

We hope you will join us in toasting Sue, and wishing her all the best as she enjoys her retirement ... which we intend to fill with Perigee Perigee Perigee!

Congratulations, Sue!
