Also! I'm happy to announce my first short story collection!
Life Out of Harmony and Other Tales of Wonder features twenty fantasy and science fiction short stories, including four not previously published. The stories include one of my WotF finalists, eight HMs, and four straight 'R's that went on to find happy publication homes.

Also, what if the market isn't a pro market? I've heard at least one person give the advice not to even mention semi-pro or token paying publications in a cover letter, does that apply to semi-anonymous forum posts wherein one shameless fishes for affirmation from one's peers?
I have appreciated the forums guidance on the cultural industry norms in the past... so preemptively: thank you again.

We're here to celebrate any and all successes, be they pro, semi-pro, or what have you!![]()
The appropriate time to publicly discuss a sale is going to vary from market to market. My experience has been that you can talk about a sale once the contract has been finalized and signed, but some publishers/editors might want you to wait a while. As a general rule, double checking with the editor who bought your story is a good idea for things like this.

I have a flash piece out today in T. Gene Davis's Speculative Blog: Anchor and Key. It's basically my love letter to libraries.

Mad Scientist Journal put out a call for classified ads and are planning to publish my submission in March 2018. It's a 180ish word fictional classified ad, so I'm not sure if that falls into flash or an even smaller category, but in any case it's pretty cool, no?

Nice! I'd say that counts as flash fiction. Well done!
