... I *have* taken a lunch break today and submitted to Baen's Astounding newbie thingie (as in the specficmarkets community).

And youse?

F & SF--- no thank you ( Read more... )

... for *next* year's F & SF. I figure no pain on rejection because there is *by definition* a glut on Christmas stories, esp the Gorey-esque awful sort... they also say "eight weeks" for turnaround. That's groovy.

How about you?

Okay, it's not spec fic, but it's still pretty cool!

Dear Ms. Hewitt,
I would very much like to use your poem "Matter of Madness" on Strong Verse. Could you please reply with a brief bio and your address?
Also, I would like to consider "The Girl Wearing. . ." if it were only the first stanza. How does this read to you?
Thank you,
Michael

I just stumbled across them on storypilot, and although I'm not really a "furry" in the narrow sense of the word, I do have some story ideas that might work for them.

Submissions

Three submissions, one rejection.

-Lenox Ave, following reallivejen's lead, who were *very* prompt and sweet rejecting me...

-Mosaic Press--- would be nice to get a "hi, we received yr. mss." e-mail, but whatever.

-Neo-Opsis: stay tuned. "The Littlest Zombie" might just be a bit, er, tasteless...

form rejection received from The Southern Poetry Review.

At least I aim high, yes? Poems will be washed, dried and sent back out in to the harsh cruel world as soon as a more suitable market is located. A batch which may or may not include these poems will go out at the end of the week.

I just emailed the rewrite of my humorous S&S story to the editor yesterday *fingers crossed as to the result*. Originally submitted back in July, I think.

Tell me what you think about my poetry.On submitting ( Read more... )
