    • Great question. At the current time, we do not. But this is definitely our goal for the future. We would LOVE to pay our clever girls once we get established. And sooner rather than later. We’ll work hard to get there.

  1. I heard about your literary magazine while visiting my sister who lives in Clark’s Summit, PA. I think your concept of ‘Clever Girl’ is fantastic, but why limit submissions to just one geographic area? I would love to submit some of my literary works to you, but I live in California. What, if any, are my options?

    • Hi Joan! Clever Girl will have a “local” and a “beyond” section. So we absolutely encourage submissions from across the country and around the world. Please do submit your work to Clever Girl. And thank you for your interest!
