GUD: Greatest Uncommon Denominator Magazine

I've heard nothing but shiny good things about GUD: good quality publication, decent pay rates, and people with solid experience in the field.

Same here,

couple of my friends were not only paid professional rates, they get royalties

But GUD is a tough nut to crack. Good luck

Mel...

they are amazing, esp to work with. good luck!

One of their editors actually frequents the cooler. Goes by the handle of Kaolin.

A high-quality publication, and extremely hard to break into. I don't have a rejection letter from them yet, but I plan on acquiring quite a few in the near future.

They gave me a great review, so I automatically love them.

GUD is fine. And I have paper copies of issues 0 and 1 around the place somewhere.

Cheers,
Rob

I've got Issue 3 on my coffee table. Amazing story on p. 57 by Twizzle, as well as a piece by Evil Editor.

I've also looked into this mag and hearing your reports makes me think I should brave it. Love the name, too.

I'm an editor with GUD too .

Just wanted to note that GUD is having a sale on their back issues: http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122890 A great opportunity to see what they're made of.

Thanks!


I like to think of them as our ever-growing collection of current issues--collect them all!

Hey Kaolin, think you could just send me the rejection letter now before I submit my manuscript?

not to be taken personally...

Dear {name},

Thank you for sending us "{submissiontitle}". Unfortunately, it's not what we're looking for at this time.

Best of luck with this piece in other markets.

Thanks! That saved me some time.

I joined a long time ago but I haven't submitted or bought anything yet. They look a good place to publish.

Amateur rejection letter...it actually inserts the name of the submitter...
puh-shaw!

Ever one to resurrect a dead thread, I just wanted to say I've been following your #GUDslush on twitter recently, and it terrifies me.

*hee* She's a crafty one, that sqrl. I'm less crafty. My comments are best left inside our secret lair. She jumbles them up temporally and spreads them out, I understand.

Damn, how did I miss you guys on twitter?!

Hmm. Well. We haven't mentioned it to anyone in particular, yet? @buffysquirrel and @kaolinfire are the two editors who commonly tweet, and @gudmagazine is a shared acct (though mostly me).
