Never heard of this journal and they are a two minute walk from my office. I should pay more attention. It says $500 for a short-story though: http://www.english.ufl.edu/subtropics/submit.html edit: nm, $500 is for a "short short" (not sure how they define that). angel opportunity fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Apr 16, 2013 |

budgieinspector posted:I'm tracking 40 deadlines on Duotrope (mostly fixed reading periods, but also a few contests and anthologies) which extend through November. I intend to submit something to at least 80% of these publications by their closing dates. I've already hit up seventeen of them in the last month. 2013 shall be the year I harass poor, overworked editors from coast to coast. Update: 36 submissions so far, this year. 7 pieces accepted, 15 rejection letters.

Nope--I'm mainly submitting poetry, so (with the average submission being 5 poems) there's overlap. But Duotrope informs me that I've put 52 pieces (poems, short stories, and microfiction) out there, which surprised me. I just broke an 8-year-long streak of writer's block last June, so everything I've got has been written since then.

Finally got a yes. And a fuckton of No. One was 'well written, but not genre enough for us. Please try something like Black Warrior or Harvard Review'. But...but...it was too genre for them? I guess I'll just take the 'well-written' as a compliment.

Finally got an acceptance, my first of the year, after a second half of 2012 that was not only full of acceptances but included two I got paid for, and was also a period in which I submitted way fewer stories than I have this year. It's almost as though life has peaks and troughs instead of one steady, 45-degree angle rise to success!

Sorry that I've been absent-minded about this, not that I suspect many have noticed. I'll update the OP later tonight (probably), but I thought I'd pop in and drop you guys a note about this contest too, given the flash fiction talk: http://paperdarts.org/short-fiction-award $800 for 800 words (or less), and they'll present the winner with its own pretty little website. I have inside information that leads me to believe that Paper Darts hasn't gotten the volume or quality of submissions that they'd like for this contest, so I'd guess that the chances of winning are a little higher than average. Might be a decent one for those who write flash. p.s. congrats to those of you who've had successes in the last few months! It's encouraging. asylum years fucked around with this message at 21:22 on May 10, 2013 |

Wise fwom youw gwave! I have a question for the thread. For the last year or two, I've been writing mostly sequences and sets of poems. I guess I just realized that one-off poems weren't pretentious and obscure enough and if I want that penthouse atop the ivory tower I'll have to earn it. But seriously. I have no sentimental attachment to "the sequence" and have been sending them out piecemeal to journals. While that makes sense--especially given the pieces will appear unified--I do wonder if there are venues for sequences or long poems. I recently submitted a set of 10 to my state's original writing competition (fingers crossed) but besides that, who knows? Maybe you do!

I see all the time sections of poems, compiled in a collection, that were originally accepted by different journals. It's tougher when the sections don't stand alone, obviously. Cinci Review contest has another week in it, I think. If you wanna spit the 20 clams and get the subscription, that's a thought. Depending, obviously, on a bazillion things we can't even begin to account for.

I've had them appear piecemeal, but sometimes, I get them picked up in chunks by journals. (Whenever that happens, I'm always like, "Ha ha, suckers!") Depending on how long the sequence is, you can always try chapbook contests and/or publishers (there are lots, but I thought of Beard of Bees off the top of my head: http://www.beardofbees.com/), but here are a couple of lit mags that I know specifically want long-form works: Seattle Review: http://depts.washington.edu/seaview/submission.html Verse Magazine: https://verse.submittable.com/submit At Length: http://atlengthmag.com/submissions/ Uncanny Valley: https://uncannyvalley.submittable.com/submit/ Nimrod will accept up to 10 pp. of poetry: http://www.utulsa.edu/nimrod/submissions.html Beloit Poetry Journal says specifically in their submission guidelines that they take long poems: http://www.bpj.org/bpj_about_submit.html specs will accept up to 15 pp., and I know they mean it because they took an 8 pp. poem of mine!: https://specs.submittable.com/submit That's all I got right now. Hope this helps.

If any of you poets are interested, I noticed that Sundress Publications is doing an anthology of mermaid poems. Specifically pieces that don't follow the traditional Hans Christian Andersen storyline. Here's a link: http://sundresspublications.com/ (look under "submit")

It was from Ellen Datlow herself, and she said she liked it, but it wasn't quite "horror" enough for the anthology theme. Since she only personally read 17 out of the 1021 submissions (for two slots!!) I still feel pretty dang good.  SO BITTERSWEET.

So, uh, got my proofs in my email, and I guess it's happening for real- I'll be in the Spring Prairie Schooner. Story's called 'Arida Zona' and had its genesis in the Western short story competition on this very forum. It's taken so long that I submitted before I got pregnant and I now have a two-month-old child. Hurrah for the arts!

There's no reason to discourage people who come across this list from checking out these venues with an inaccurate, off-the-cuff statement. The direct link to the list of SFWA approved venues for short fiction can be found at: http://www.sfwa.org/about/join-us/sfwa-membership-requirements/#shortfiction Another good place to look, which I keep posting, is The Submission Grinder, which is a free alternative to duotrope. You can search by genre, length, style, etc. and you can register to track submissions, too. http://thegrinder.diabolicalplots.com I've got a story that I'm revising for submission to a few of these places, hopefully by this weekend.

I don't think this has come up yet, possibly because it's not a real question. What's the default for multiple submissions? If a market (The New Yorker - why not?) doesn't specifically say "no multiples please", does that mean they're fine with it? They get so much, I doubt they'll even notice two from me anyway, right?
