Doing My Happy Dance

A little music for this writers ears in my inbox today:

Hello Cynthia Close,
Thank you for your submission to Inscape’s 2024 edition.
We have decided to accept Sex Lies and Meeting Pete and we're wondering if it is still available.
If it is still available, we ask that you send us a Word Doc of the piece and a short bio at your earliest convenience. If your work is not available, please let us know as soon as you can.

And, again, we’re so excited at the prospect of publishing your work!

Sincerely,
The Editors
