Your submission must be:

It’s Thursday January 2nd 2020, the first working day of the new year. Lavinia Halliday, social worker at Quonsettville Regional Correctional Facility, a women-only prison in the northern Vermont town of Quonsettville, is ready to start the new year. Her diary is filled with appointments, and she is hopeful that 2020 will bring peace and harmony, stability and hope, to the prison’s 50 inmates ... but calm is shattered by the news that the prison will soon expand to house 100 more inmates.
This is a collaborative project, where all the stories in the book come together to tell one larger story, told from many different points of view. Pure Slush has a history of publishing such books, and includes The Shitlist, Obit, and Gorge.
In Filthy Sucre, Nod Ghosh paints fresh and stinging portraits of human vulnerability and fallibility. The three novellas mix lush details with harsh surroundings, tragedy with amusement, and surreal happenings with all-too-familiar human experiences. ~ Charmaine Wilkerson, author of How to Make a Window Snake
Pure Slush is currently about halfway through reading submissions for The Beautifullest Pure Slush Vol. 17 … but (obviously) still has a way to go.
The project is running a little behind (for a few long and boring reasons) but Pure Slush still hopes to have the paperback version released in April, with eBook versions to follow soon afterwards.
So, if you have not yet heard about your submission, that’s because it hasn’t been read yet …
