R for me as well.

R for me, which is disappointing because I actually wrote this one before the last day of the quarter (first time I've done that in probably years!) and I had high hopes for it...

I've been submitting since the days of paper subs, so I have lots of data to draw from wotf008 Here's my weekday stats: Monday = 8 Tuesday = 8 Wednesday = 10 Thursday = 7 Friday = 4 Saturday = 2 Sunday = 0 Of my nine Q2 submissions, 5 have received responses in July (the rest were May and June). Mos...

I'm in for this quarter--I submitted a couple of days ago on 6/29.

Submitted 6/29

R for me--I have higher hopes for my Q2 submission!

Rejection for me

I'm in with my 50th entry!

Happy to help!

Alex, Beth, I had not really thought about the possibility of losing my data. I may need to have a backup. I used to have a spreadsheet until I found Grinder. Had Duotrope for a while but never really used it--I just wanted to see what it was like. I like Grinder better. Particularly the chart and ...

I know a pro published writer who doesn't use Grinder or Duotrope and have seen blog posts of others who use their own system to track submissions and rejections. I have my own system so even if I used Grinder or Duotrope to find markets, I probably wouldn't use them for tracking. I don't trust onl...

I forgot to report in when I submitted (December 29th), but I just checked and this was my 49th submission to the contest!!! (48 of them have been consecutive--I haven't missed a quarter since the end of 2007!) That's a great record of persistence, Beth! I think you're due! Cheers to all! Moon Than...

Smashwords is having an End of Year Sale, and even though the year has ended, the sale continues until 11:59pm PT on January 1st. You can get my collection Sorcery & Widgets for half off until the sale ends, and I'm sure there are lots of other good deals as well!

R for me....on to the next one!

R on 11/23

I just looked back, and I guess I forgot to say that I submitted to Q4 on September 29th...just thought I'd better get that in before we get results or something


In 2017, my Q4 results arrived on November 6th, so we're already in the window of possibility!

I made a collection of nearly all of my published stories, and for the first time, I'm trying out a paperback version too! I learned a lot of things about how books are put together along the way--I did all of the cover/interior design/layout, and there were some frustrating moments while I tried to...

HM for me--I was going to submit my Q4 tonight, but now I think I'll read through it one more time....

Thanks for letting me know you got a response--and quite a while ago too! I did submit on the last or second to last day, so my story might just be at the bottom of the pile. I don't think I'm in any sort of hold pile because my number is over 150 in the queue, and I can't imagine that they're holdi...

Did anyone here submit a novella to Tor.com's open call last summer? If so, are you still waiting for a response or did you hear back already? They have a queue with numbers, but my number hasn't changed for about two months and it has been over a year since I submitted, so I'm just trying to get a ...

I love when people have data to crunch! I'll add some crunchy data: The earliest I've ever heard back on Q3 is August 17th (and that's not a fluke because I also got results on the 18th for another Q3), and the latest was November 10th (that one might be a bit of an outlier, but I did get results N...

I got a rejection

If someone submits their Q4 this coming week, they might even have three in queue. I'm starting to twitch, though it's like a murmur right now. Think it was Beth Powers that wrote earlier in this thread that she had had responses for previous Q2s come back through end of July. So we could still be ...

Submitted June 30th

Looking at recent prior years, Q2 results have come out anytime late May to early July. Is there any info out there that might narrow that window? I checked my numbers, and I've gotten results as early as May 19th (that was in 2008) and as late as Sept 13th (I'm a little suspicious of this one, but...

R for me too
