I know I haven't officially subscribed to w1s1, but would just want to say that the idea is splendid -- send the story elsewhere the moment it got rejected. Last week I got accepted into Pank and A capella Zoo with stories that had 3 and 13 rejections. Never lose the faith! :D

Yay!

Goldmund haz sheep!

:e2bouncey :e2bouncey :e2bouncey

13 rejections! That gives me hope for some of mine.

Oh my... make that TWO sales to Stupefying Stories. I sent them 2 submissions and Mr. Bethke just e-mailed me to let me know that he's accepting the other one as well! Never had a double sale like this before!

Oh, the other story's "Number Station"

I'm a happy writer today. :)

That is awesome!!!!! Congratulations :)

Well I did some more work on it after the frst 4 Rs, but among them were higher-tier responses from Apex and Weird Tales (submit again, well-written, etc.) so I never gave up on it.

For those of you in the NYC area:

Next week I'll be giving a reading from my sci fi novel, Green Light Delivery, and I'd love to meet you!

The reading is part of this month's Rough & Ready author showcase in Manhattan next Tuesday, Jan. 24. I'm sharing the bill with other writers and actors reading from plays, novels, and short stories. There's usually some music and refreshments, too. More info here.

Yay!

Congratulations, Anne :)

I'm nowhere near NY, so there is no way I can be there. But good luck!

I too am not in NYC, but i hope your reading goes well! :)

I sold a story to DSF :D! It's not only my first sale of 2012, it's my first SFWA qualified sale.
:hooray: Nicely done, Sai!

And Anne, I'll see if I can make it, but there's no info currently posted on the site you linked.
