Review:

 Aesthetically structured (not too profligate) and featuring prolific editors and sterling writers, Apollo's Lyre is probably under the germinating category of our literary magazines' continuum. Apollo's Lyre accepts only e-mail submissions, but you would have to follow their guidelines prudently (there are a myriad of them, each type of submissions differing from one another). Not only does it accept flash fiction (under 1000 words) and poetry, but also articles, book reviews, interviews and a canny, unprecedented category they named A Bouquet of Shorts (short-short stories of no more than 250 words).

For those who cannot be flippant in your diurnal chores and toiling throughout the day, you don't need to check out the welter of updates (if there are) on Apollo's Lyre website. You can instead visit their blog, hosted by Blogspot, at http://apollos-lyre.blogspot.com/. 

On the website, you can traipse around the different archives of the contributor's work and read articles pertaining to writing.tips and advices which can help a lot, irrespective of any genres the authors wish to write.  They have the Write Tight (general) and Words Apart (an analysis of a word) sections just for your unrequited information. This online literary magazine will be a great venture for tyro writers and teachers of English to submit their fiction, poetry and others. 

I am also very impressed about Apollo's Lyre's voluntary effort to be one of the sponsers of The Muse Online Writers Conference. Registration is free as long as you register before the deadline. For more information, feel free to visit http://www.themuseonlinewritersconference.com/.

Also, Apollo's Lyre had been awarded accolades for their writing articles, including The Top Ten Finisher Preditors and Editors Readers Poll 2009.

I had simply never perceive that an online literary magazine could pull itself up by their bootstraps long ago and continue to exist within the variegated literary world. There's no hold-ups for them. Apollo's Lyre will in the limelight soon and compared against, perhaps, The New Yorker.
