Content Removals
Occasionally, we get requests to remove a piece. The short answer is we will not do this unless there is a documented act of plagiarism or other rights violation. We can’t ‘gut’ an issue by yanking pieces out of it after the fact.
The author may wish to include a piece in a later book. See the submission terms. Once first rights have been conveyed, further publication is a reprint.
Alternately, one may have thought better of putting a given piece on the web due to current trends in work culture, politics, religion, and social issues. However, the work has been here for an average of 20+ years, and the publication run is complete. It would disrupt the integrity of the magazine to significantly change its history.
