    Night Train accepts flash fiction , short stories, and novellas. Subscribers
    include high-profile literary agents, and the editors of Night Train work
    hard to promote exposure for writers at conferences, readings and book fairs. As
    a non-profit organization, Night Train seeks funding from towns with unique
    rail histories, and each of these "Rail Stop" sponsors receives a photo essay
    featuring its town and businesses. Other funding, also vital to Night Train's
    longevity, comes from individual sponsors and donors.
