Don't count on markets to provide feedback. Use instead something like CC, Scribophile or Critters. The pro rate has been bumped to 6 cents a word, at least for the SFWA, even if Duotrope counts 5 as ''pro.'' Aim for 6 cents plus. The Horror Tree is a good resource for new genre markets. It often has stuff that Duotrope and Grinder hasn't posted yet, plus some markets never show up on those (usually anthologies).

There's worse, like Fireside, I believe. My long shots (but quick turnaround) markets are: Clarkesworld, Nightmare/Lightspeed, Shimmer, The Dark. Then a bit slower, F&SF, Fantastic Stories of the Imagination, Lamplight, Black Static. Most of these are horror or at least dark fantasy.

Jitzu_the_Monk posted:For GP and others who have been published a few times or more, I'm curious to know: Have your readers ever contacted you? I mean through social media, wordpress, email etc. If so, what have these interactions been like? Never a reader, but a couple of reviews mentioned my stories in particular. Not enough of them!

Mostly slushers see your work and they have a high turnover rate so I'm not too worried.

Thanks, guys. It's not available for free I'm afraid. I'll probably throw it on my blog when I get the rights back.

Realistically you're gonna get a different slusher in all likelihood. But I still wouldn't do it. Write the next one.

Just send it to anthologies that open up here and there. Plenty of places to sell to.

Sold a story to the Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing newsletter/Dark Moon Digest, along with a reprint of an old story. In other news one of my stories is getting translated in French for the magazine Tenebres in 2017. I'd love this thread to be more active. What can I help with?

Use Duotrope stats to gauge. Like volume of submissions. Go to your favorite journal that you KNOW is popular and scroll to the bottom where it says ''Pieces submitted here were also submitted to:'' Also check the hardest ones to get into and the highest paying ones. Use all of that and you should have a better idea.

Yeah, none of those are happening. I haven't sold anything new, but I'm shortlisted over at Ares Magazine, so hopefully something will come of it.
