[Alternate Route]

Welcome to [Alternate Route], an (in)appropriate place for your writing. Issue 17 Spring 2025 is out in digital/PDF as well as paperback on Lulu.com. We are open for Issue 18 Summer 2025 submissions. Send us your best--or worst! (Note that we often receive few art submissions, so if you want a shot at being on the cover, go ahead and take your hand at it!).

One of our published writers, Tom Ball, should have a pulp sci-fi romance novel out by around the end of the year (with us). Can't wait!
Another one of our published writers, Peter J. Dellolio, has a newish book out: The Confession. It can be found in bookstores online.
Another another one of our published writers, M F Drummy, will have a book out soon, Perdido. It can be pre-ordered here: Perdido.
We are changing out analytics platform from Mixpanel, which was super-insecure and didn't even work, to something more lightweight and noninvasive.
E-book issue 8 is still on the to-do list. Sorry it's taking so long!
We will also be revitalizing the submission process (and other processes in general) to be more streamlined so that we can all be happy cleanfriends. G'day.
