Issue 7 of Galaxy's Edge goes live in a few hours. I'm still amazed and awed to be sharing a TOC with Martin and Brad, not to mention several of my absolute heroes in C.J. Cherryh, Robert Sheckley and L. Sprague de Camp, as well as the other amazing names on the cover.

It's free on the website, or you can purchase it in a number of formats.

Round about this time last year I had my first published story, which was a tiny 200 word flash piece in AE Micro. Inevitably, I suppose, I then went through the overconfidence phase (everything that I submit will sell,) followed by the under-confidence phase (nothing that I submit will sell.) Just as I was getting to the stage of believing that it was hardly worthwhile submitting at all, along comes a perfectly ordinary email with a perfectly ordinary 'Re. ...' heading. So inconspicuous that it almost got overlooked.

And it says that AE would like to buy a 2,900 word SF that I sent them.

I figure that there has to be something that keeps you writing, even when there doesn't seem a whole lot of point to it, except to please yourself with the worlds that you can create.

And I want to thank Rebecca once again for a very helpful critique of this one back in July.

It appears that getting a story to the publishable stage can take me a while!

Thanks Rebecca, Ishmael, Jeffrey, Preston and Steve!

I still believe in submitting to pro markets first, but last week I discovered Mad Scientist Journal in The Grinder and I knew I just HAD to write something for them.
I had a lot of fun writing it so I'm glad they liked it.

[Ember]

Awesome news George and Ishmael! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!

[E.CaimanSands]

Welcome to the club, George!

Sean, I'd already checked out previous issues of MSJ and seen both your stories there. Very nice!

Nice story, and what an ending!

[Ishmael]

Thanks, Preston.

It did make for complicated editorial process, but we got there in the end. The editor showed great patience with a rookie author!

[s_c_baker]

Wow, that was quick! Nice, Ishmael.
