Finally! Just made it under the wire as I submitted a Short Read minutes ago. The only response to my request for help was what I got from you (below). The process was much too complicated for my skill-level. In the "old days" you simply signed into Submittable but now it took you down a convoluted road with questions that made no sense to me (again, apologies for being such a tech-moron; - Substack and all that).

At any case, permit me a platitude: all well that ends well.

I enjoyed my writing.

Thx -

CAMI

I just submitted on submittable, but I paid for it. I thought I read that subscribers didn't have to... did I just dream that up?

Paid subs get one free entry to each, you're right! But you have to email for the link. Feel free to email us at prizes@narratively.com to get sorted. Thanks.

My piece is ready to submit, but end up in a digital nightmare (although I've had an account with Submittable for several yrs). Can anyone help?

May I submit more than one essay? If so, how?

Sure, you would just submit each piece separately. Thanks and best of luck!

I submitted to one of your last calls and never heard back. What is your turn around time for responses?

Hi, Dr. Elsa, We always get back to people, but sometimes we do take a minute. We aim for 1-2 months, but if you haven't heard back in that amount of time, feel free to reach out. We also received an overwhelming amount of submissions for our recent Personals call and had to close it temporarily to catch up, so we're on it! You should get a response back soon. Thanks, and thanks for your interest!

Thank you for your note. Yes, I believe it has been that long. I can understand it takes time. I appreciate your response and look forward to hearing from you.
