Re: Success!
Congrats, HL, pretty darn awesome. And congrats to you, Holly. Wow, from straight WOTF reject to a pro-market sale. That's fantastic, and so inspiring! Yay!

My first drabble is up today at Specklit: http://specklit.com/blog/2015/07/28/tit-for-tat/
A sale is a sale, right, even if it's only 100 words? :)
I'm not sure this next one counts as success in the sense of the thread, but it made me feel successful! A review of the Insert Title Here anthology lists my story as one of her favourites: http://stephaniegunn.com/aww2015-insert ... i-wessley/

Nice :) I like how these super short stories still feel so complete.
Re: Success!

Coming soon to a bookshop near you, and / or available to order on line from Flame Tree athttp://flametreepublishing.com/ is this beautiful trio of hardbacks, respectively ghost, horror and science fiction stories mingling new writing with old masters.
And when they release the final author list (http://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/bid/78341/Gothic-Fantasy-Successful-Submissions) what do we find? In addition to yours truly a certain Stewart C Baker has snuck in quietly. How did I not know this? Did I turn over two pages of this thread or something?
Cogratulations Stewart.

Yay for your story being up, amoskalik, and grats Ishmael and Stewart (who is popping up everywhere, no wonder you forget you get published!)

Beautiful covers as well.

My first pro-level story has just been published! I'm so excited. It's a flash-fiction piece called "Eyes of Fire" and it's now live at Grievous Angel. I'm doing the happy dance!
