Congrats!

I don't know how to do the little guy with a sign, but I just got a Semi-Finalist notification!

Update: we've extended the submission deadline to April 30, 2018!

I thought today was the day last year I got my R. I distinctly remember having an R with time to spare before Q2 submissions were due. I think R's might have come around this time last year, but the rest of the results definitely came after the start of April. Can confirm, I got my HM result in LAT...

Mad Scientist Journal is publishing our fifth anthology, on the theme of women leaders. Open to submissions until the end of March, pay is 2 cents a word. More guidelines here: http://madscientistjournal.org/submissions/

Subbed my story today, while realizing how close I'm getting to pro-ing out! That's still such a weird concept to me!

I've sent them one for the Lost Souls one, but I've got nothing for the other.

Mostly fantasy for me, with rare sci-fi.

Well, got my story in super early this quarter because I knew what story I wanted to send in, and I didn't want to tie it up at another market past the deadline for this quarter.

So in as of 11/18!

So as someone who edits for a magazine (admittedly, token paying), I'm firmly of the opinion that the lightest touch is the best. We have bought a few stories that needed some significant copy editing work, but we rarely accept stories that we would not publish pretty close to as they are presented....

R for me this quarter. I'm a little bummed because there's a lot about this story that I like, but apparently it's not hitting the right notes.

I managed to submit 3 for 34, so I'm in for 4 in 35!

I'm sure I'll have something to send in, but HOW IS ALMOST OCTOBER ALREADY?!

They've opened up two more, deadline of 9/29. http://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/short-story-submissions-alien-invasion-and-endless-apocalypse?utm_campaign=Gothic%20Fantasy%202017&utm_content=60086602&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter I've got stories to send them for ...

HM for me, which I'm really pleased about, since I've been doubting this story for a long time. But this gives me hope that it just hasn't found the right editor to love it yet!

Interstellar stuntman Eddy fell from a holographic helicopter to Hornblower's head.

In early this quarter, as of just now! We'll see how it goes!

Got a call this morning with no caller ID which has never happened to me before. But....they left no message so it couldn't have been Joni. Still, I did not need that extra added twitching! Ugh, I get so many calls from unknown numbers and area codes I don't recognize. There's going to be a lot of ...

Just dug through all of my Trash and Spam and ... I'm still in?! *twitch*

Since both my husband and I are writers, we don't really have writing spaces. We both just write in the living room. Though occasionally we bring out the headphones if one or the other of us is deep in concentration and want to avoid disturbances. We do have a desk and chair in the spare room that w...

I had one for Agents & Spies, so here's hoping!

Alright, my story is off and away, with 10 days left to spare. But I knew if I waited any longer, I'd still be picking at it on the 30th.

Another month, another submissions period. This time, Mad Scientist Journal is looking for flash and short stories for the website and for our quarterlies, as well as classified ads. Guidelines at http://madscientistjournal.org/submissions/.

Thought I'd point this out. To quote the contest rules: 5. The Contest is open only to those who have not professionally published a novel or short novel, or more than one novelette, or more than three short stories, in any medium. Professional publication is deemed to be payment of at least six ce...

However... Flame Tree have a habit of sending acceptances first, rejections after (you can see the pattern on the recent responses on the Grinder). Yeah, this is a procedure that I really don't understand... As someone who helps run a small press, we send out rejections on stories that we know we c...

I got an R on my Supernatural Horror story.

Submitted 12/6/16, HM 4/26/17.

HM for me, which is better than the flat out rejection last time. :)

I'm still waiting to hear back on the Supernatural Horror one.
