Sticky Browse Form and Hard to Figure Out
I'm a new paid subscriber. I just spend an hour "browsing" and it takes the cursor forever to jump to a newly selected field. I selected a few basic criteria (at least to my mind) and it comes back, "I'm sorry, the literary world doesn't live up to...yet" but that can't be right. Also it's hard to tell if I'm selecting criteria or excluding everything else. All I wanted was "available in print, publishing writers with disabilities.." is that enough to keep anything from showing up? I'll have to try again. A tutorial for the tech-weary would be nice.

Am I doing this right?
Using the editor portal, I followed the video example, "create a listing" with the relevant information, then "claim an existing listing" for that listing, but nothing's changed and I didn't receive a confirmation message. If I go back a second time to try and claim the listing for the magazine in question, I am prompted to create that listing again within the claim listing dialogue. Maybe I'm not passing the verification? I have my website and email duplicated there. My profile on the main site is https://www.chillsubs.com/user/bennylewis Thank you for any assistance.
Asiatic Journal -- misleading info on the database
From their website: "Asiatic is an open access journal and does not receive any sales proceeds. Hence, to meet expenses, it expects contributors to pay a fee of RM1000 per article. The question of fees arises only when an article is acceptable for publication. Therefore, it will be wrong to presume that an author can publish in Asiatic their subpar manuscript with money. Once a paper is accepted for publication, the editorial team of Asiatic will provide bank account details and other necessary information." However, the database says it pays accepted writers RM1000, which is quite misleading.
n+1 database page problems
A small thing, but I just noticed that some of the fields for the n+1 database entry seem to be populated with info for another publication (A Story in 100 Words).
Zionist Magazine
Hi all, Not sure if this is permitted, but I couldn't find another way to broadcast this information. Abandon Journal's managing editor, Phillip Scott Mandel, declared support for Israel on Twitter on October 10th 2023 and has not revoked his support as of November 13th 2023 in spite of the genocide enacted by the Israeli government. For anyone else, like me, who aims to condemn genocide, please do not consider this magazine for submissions anymore.
