During this last period we received an avalanche of submissions.  It has been our goal to give each submission equal consideration, even if our publication date is delayed.  Many of the stories and poems were beautifully written, making the selection process difficult.  What a lovely problem for editors to have!

     The art and graphics for this issue will be delayed.  Our art editor has been unavailable to us due to no fault of her own, but we hold her responsible nevertheless!

    “Walking the Reservoir at Night” by L. Annette Binder, from our last issue, has received quite a bit of recognition.  We are very pleased to have featured Annette’s fine work in our humble CLAPBOARD HOUSE and look forward to her future successes.   

     Editors and agents visit us and other online publications in search of writers that interest them.  Always submit your very best work with a complete biography.  One never knows who might be taking a peek!  Those fortuitous enough to read this issue will find beautiful work by very fine writers.
