For me, publication has been a pretty detached experience - the piece goes out, the money comes in, then I never really hear about it again. The exception has been live readings, which are a pretty cool environment to actually interact with fans. It's nice to see people so excited to see you, even if you're some random short-fiction unknown. People often approach to chat afterwards .

Defenestration posted:I wrote a story that I know is good. I've sent it 40 places and they all rejected it. I shortened it by a thousand words for a contest which I also didn't win. You shouldn't resubmit to places you've already sent the same story, regardless of edits. If you want to try again, try a new piece.

If I sounded like a bit of a dick before, I wasn't trying to - I was more wondering if you'd thrown it up in CC at any point for crit. The writer is often the worst person to see issues in the story: if you need fresh eyes, you only need to ask.

How long is it? Maybe try Hunger Mountain or Yarn -- both are currently closed for submissions, but they have windows coming up in May and September respectively.
