Got a story acceptance from Daily Science Fiction today. Super happy as only my second sale. But story may require edits so won't get too excited until it's all confirmed
Does anyone know any other markets that tend to provide good feedback with their rejections?
Rejection avalanche today, from Liminal, AGNI, subTerrain, and Threepenny Review, as well as learning that an anthology I had a story accepted to last summer, Let Us In, has been cancelled.
Luckily, last year was very good for me, and the afterglow lingers, so I'm not bummed out like I might have been had this happened before then.
485 days is now my longest rejection, burying my old record of 335 at AHMM.
Good golly, and I get annoyed by responses taking more than 120 days!
Got one of those rejections today that hit me harder than usual for no real reason. It's one I've gotten more than once on this story - like, but not science fiction enough (paraphrased). I've run out, again, of places to send this to but still believe in it (thankfully markets keep reopening all the time).
Ty - argh frustrating to make a mistake like that, I've done that a few times. Normally realise when I hit send, and it normally happens when I'm submitting late at night and in a hurry!
485-day form kaput from Tin House. Included a note of apology for the long wait, saying they've been swamped with submissions. (They even shortened their submission window, by a lot: was March THROUGH Sept, now just March AND Sept). The form also invited me to sub again.
PS - 485 days is now my longest rejection, burying my old record of 335 at AHMM.
