Congrats everyone who placed!! (And those who will place but have yet to post...) It's a rejection for me, though I'm not surprised. Realized a little too late that I left multiple comments with my name on my manuscript. Derp. wotf004 Now I'm left to ruminate whether or not that was the only reason ...

Congratulations on your semifinalist placement, Hannah! To get into Dave's final stack, you wrote an original idea, and executed it well. The critique kills resubmit, of course, but it's still invaluable in getting some insight into what Dave likes about your work, and what he finds lacking in this...

And congrats, Brittany and KD, on finalist! Wow, such an accomplishment!!! You guys are SO close.

Thanks for the congrats, everyone! (Now onto twitching for Q2, eh? XD)

(Super late reply, woops. I suck at checking social media/forums... but I feel like I have more info now!) So I just found out I got SF and I'm 99% sure I didn't ever actually get the notification email for that - only just found out because Joni sent me my critique. Not sure what was up with that ...

I've had issues communicating with Joni via email in the past. She wouldn't get my emails sent from and outlook.com address. We had to switch to an address on my personal domain for it to work. This time I entered with outlook.com again and it seems to be working fine. Interesting... but glad to he...

Just the idea of a WoTF podcast, period, sounds awesome to me. (I may or may not be a recovering podcast addict...) Basically, everything everyone has already brought up would be fun to see: -tips from the judges -behind the scenes of workshop week -readings of the stories themselves -interviews wit...

Well done. Great achievement as well.

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I've already posted over in the "I'm new here" thread, but wanted to pop in on this thread as well. After submitting 3 times previously, my submission for 1st Quarter 2019 received a Silver HM. So while I am absolutely thrilled, I am reading this indicates I was close to m...

I have since gotten in contact with Joni, though, and she's confirmed that my stories for both Q4 and Q1 were received, so yay! Now I'll just have to keep an eye on that pesky subconscious mind of mine... >.> Hannah, Were you ever able to figure out why you didn't get any of the submission confirma...

Um so I'm a little late to the party, but... wotf057 I literally just found out when Joni sent me my critique? XD For whatever reason, it would seem I didn't get my initial notification email. Hmm... Just had surgery and am a little out of it so maybe I missed it, but either way, I'm totally shocked...

This was cool. Before going to the Superstars Writing Seminar, I told Author Services that we needed some promo materials, and one in particular. I asked them to make a business card sized ad for Volume 35, with order information on the back. Something we could hand to people as we handed them our ...

So just an FYI, I've been in contact with Joni and she said "we will have results in March, maybe sooner." A lot quicker than I expected, but yeah, apparently that's a thing? So um... prepare to twitch and all that.

So, I never ended up getting a confirmation email for my Q1 entry and I'm wondering... should I be concerned? Has this happened to anyone else? I've emailed Joni and haven't heard back (that was a couple weeks ago now) Your confirmation comes from GalaxyPress. Perhaps it's in your junk mail folder....

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, guys! And the confirmation that you've heard from Joni/the contest recently, Tim. I think I may just email Joni from a different email address to see if that makes a difference... as far as I know, there's no mail from Joni or the contest in my spam.

Fingers crossed!

Hey all! So I've been off-and-on lurking for some time, but have yet to actually partake in the awesome that is these forums due to none other than the dreaded anti-muse: laziness. I've written two and a half (oops) novels and a handful of short stories, my most recent entry nabbing me an HM for Q4....
